The Million Pound Drop (S4 - top prize won on German version)

[Matt]

MPD is back on our screens on Friday April 22nd and Saturday April 23rd :D

Appears that this series - which will be the first to have a sponsor, Right Guard deodorant - is keeping the twice weekly scheduling

[Matt]

MPD's return is now confirmed by Channel 4 - April 22nd!

There will be twelve episodes in this series, airing on Fridays and Saturdays over six weeks, and it will now be filmed in HD.

Also this series, for the first time ever, one lucky player who beats the Drop in the online game will get the chance to take it on for real at the end of the series - interesting...

UPDATE: The first celebrity players have been confirmed - former cricketer Andrew 'Freddie' Flintoff will take on the drop with his wife Rachel on the 22nd :)

[MTVN]

Looking forward to this tonight, glad Flintoff is on as well :D

[Kerry]

It's come around so quick!

[Matt]

It's come around so quick!

Enjoy it while you can because after this series there will be a three month wait for the next one :(

[Kerry]

Enjoy it while you can because after this series there will be a three month wait for the next one :(

[GypsyGoth]

Is this the discussion thread too? :) For when it's on?

Yep.

[Kerry]

Yep.

Ahhh ta :)

[Matt]

Oh :/

Davina's off on her summer hols so she won't be around June-August, but Channel 4 has commissioned 17 more episodes to air later this year, most likely in September/October and at Christmas

[Jordan.]

Oh good something to watch! :hugesmile:

Gonna play along too if my laptop stops being a slow twat.

[GypsyGoth]

On in seconds :amazed:

[MTVN]

:D

[MTVN]

Freddie :worship:

[GypsyGoth]

He looks nervous.

[Jordan.]

I don't like when they have celebs, less intense :/

[MTVN]

Jennifer aniston?

[GypsyGoth]

I guessed JA.

[KG.]

I've put it all on Jennifer Aniston.

[Matt]

Jennifer aniston?

That's where my million lies

[Kerry]

Jennifer aniston?

Think so. I know Kylie and Nicole have

[MTVN]

Phew :D

[GypsyGoth]

Yay! :D

[Smithy]

Is that his wife?

[Smithy]

Lindsay

[Kerry]

Lindsay

[GypsyGoth]

Is that his wife?

Yep, she does charity stuff.

[GypsyGoth]

I guessed LiLo too.

[Jordan.]

All on Lindsay

[Marsh.]

Lindsay Lohan, thieving bitch.

[GypsyGoth]

After the break I bet.

[Matt]

After the break I bet.

Surely not on the second question :conf2:

[GypsyGoth]

Surely not on the second question :conf2:

You were right :hugesmile:

[MTVN]

:shrug:

[GypsyGoth]

:bawling: I only know the first line.

[GypsyGoth]

I put my million on the ditch one.

[Kerry]

I'm singing it but making up my own words :laugh:

[Marsh.]

Put all money on St Martins.

[MTVN]

:bawling: I only know the first line.

:laugh: Me too, I just know St Clements

[GypsyGoth]

Nooooo!

[Kerry]

Bow is

[Jordan.]

Urgh @ that question :bored:

[Marsh.]

:bawling:

[MTVN]

Have a bit on Bow and Mile End, had most on Shoreditch though

[Kerry]

Nightmare question. You need to be 60+ to know it

[Jordan.]

Oh great the one that I didn't split my million on. :laugh:

[Kerry]

Oooops

[Jordan.]

These questions are hard! :shocked:

[MTVN]

Must be 50s?

[GypsyGoth]

I think teens.

[Kerry]

Thirties

[Shaun]

I see he chose her for her brains.

[Marsh.]

I lost money cause I couldn't decide.

[Matt]

I've put £700,000 on fifties and £300,000 on seventies

[Maia]

I guessed thirties.

[Matt]

That's my first million gone then!

I thought the majority of the UK population was older :(

[Kerry]

Doubt teens would bother filling them in

[MTVN]

Oh sh*t, I thought it was asking which decade most people had been born in :cloud:

[Jordan.]

£650,000 left.

[GypsyGoth]

I don't think I understood the question.

[Marsh.]

£500,000 left

[Kerry]

London

[GypsyGoth]

London

[MTVN]

London

[Maia]

Must be London.

[Marsh.]

That bleepy clock just scared the **** out of me.

Chose London.

[GypsyGoth]

That bleepy clock just scared the **** out of me.

:laugh:

[Matt]

Another £700k/£300k split for me - the majority's on London

[GypsyGoth]

Yes, pick films!

[Kerry]

PMSL at those names

[GypsyGoth]

I haven't watched Austin Powers :(

[Jordan.]

Split on Holly and Dixie.

[Kerry]

I haven't watched Austin Powers :(

Seen one. Ridiculous :laugh:

[MTVN]

I dont like these questions tonight :cloud:

[Shaun]

I actively hate this woman

[Shaun]

pretty sure Ivana was a character

[Matt]

I haven't seen any of the Austin Powers or James Bond films but oddly I knew the answer :laugh:

[MTVN]

Another million gone :bored:

[Jordan.]

Felicity Shagwell = Greatest Austin Powers character of ALL TIME.

[GypsyGoth]

lips.

[Kerry]

Elbows

[Smithy]

elbows

[MTVN]

Elbows

[Matt]

Toyed between palms and elbows and ended up putting my entire £700k on palms in the last two seconds

[Jordan.]

All on elbows

[GypsyGoth]

I've just lost my 4th million :cloud:

[Smithy]

:shocked:

[MTVN]

I've just lost my 4th million :cloud:

I've just lost my third :sad:

[Kerry]

Oh bollocks

[Jordan.]

:o:o:o

[Maia]

Put all my money on palms...

:D

[Matt]

Phew, thank goodness for that

[Kerry]

*Wonders how many of us were poking at our elbows and palms* :joker:

[Matt]

*Wonders how many of us were poking at our elbows and palms* :joker:

I didn't think a joint would have thicker skin than a palm

[Maia]

*Wonders how many of us were poking at our elbows and palms* :joker:

I was :laugh:

[Maia]

[Kerry]

I didn't think a joint would have thicker skin than a palm

I thought joints were really protected

[Marsh.]

Eh?

[Smithy]

[Jordan.]

London to Mumbai - 4476 Miles
London to LA - 5456 miles

[Kerry]

[GypsyGoth]

They lost £975,000 for charity, they shouldn't be happy.

[Jordan.]

[GypsyGoth]

I'm not that fond of this couple.

[Jordan.]

Chelsea? not sure.

[GypsyGoth]

I put it all on SoHo.

[Matt]

I'm 99% confident it's Piccadilly - sure there's a Soho in New York

[GypsyGoth]

:bawling:

[Jordan.]

Great start :laugh2:

[GypsyGoth]

I put my new million on Play Well :amazed:

[Matt]

I've read Lego's Wikipedia page before, and if my memory serves me correctly it's Play Well

[Jordan.]

I put my new million on Play Well :amazed:

Same :)

Play time would be too obvious.

[Matt]

Hopefully you'll keep your new million a bit longer ;)

[GypsyGoth]

Hopefully you'll keep your new million a bit longer ;)

:laugh:


Put it all on Attenborough.

[Matt]

Still got my starting million... *wipes forehead*

[GypsyGoth]

I'm gonna guess the puppy.

[Matt]

I've gone for Dulux Dog :p

[Jordan.]

I went for Dulux

[GypsyGoth]

Yay! I;m wrong, they won :D

[GypsyGoth]

Hahaha he nearly fell.

[Jordan.]

Moobs! :laugh:

[Matt]

Favourite players of the series so far!

I think this one's pretty obvious

[GypsyGoth]

I put it all on the Jonas Bros.

[GypsyGoth]

Pick nose.

[GypsyGoth]

Yay they are being brave.

[Matt]

Yay they are being brave.

Good logic too - rhinoplasty is nose surgery. Gone with them on this one

[GypsyGoth]

Do you still have your starting million?

[Matt]

I do indeed - I'm not playing alone tonight though :laugh:

[GypsyGoth]

I do indeed - I'm not playing alone tonight though :laugh:

:hugesmile: Cool, I hope you make it to the end.

[Matt]

:hugesmile: Cool, I hope you make it to the end.

I just lost it all - was so sure that was Posh Spice!

[GypsyGoth]

Aww, I was sure that was the answer too.

[Jordan.]

I think Big Mac is the lowest, I hope it is for them.

[Matt]

I'm not bothered about playing as much now that I've lost my first million :D

Guessing KFC on this one

[GypsyGoth]

I think Big Mac is the lowest, I hope it is for them.

I think so too.

[Jordan.]

It's Jimmy Carr, Alan is always saying he is his dad ;o

[GypsyGoth]

I think I put it on Jimmy.

[Jordan.]

Oh dear.

[Matt]

Brad's gonna be kicking himself if they're wrong

[Jordan.]

:sad:

[Matt]

Ugh, is there any show that ISN'T doing a Royal Wedding special next week?! :bored:

[GypsyGoth]

Ugh, is there any show that ISN'T doing a Royal Wedding special next week?! :bored:

:laugh: Yea, there is even a gypsy wedding.

[Matt]

Back tomorrow at 9.00pm on Channel 4 with the Royal Wedding special, which will see a real couple go straight from their own wedding to the MPD studios to play for a million pounds live!

[Kerry]

Back tomorrow at 9.00pm on Channel 4 with the Royal Wedding special, which will see a real couple go straight from their own wedding to the MPD studios to play for a million pounds live!

I was just about to post that this will be a welcome break from wedding wedding wedding :bawling: :joker:

[Matt]

I was just about to post that this will be a welcome break from wedding wedding wedding :bawling: :joker:

It would have been nice to have one Royal Wedding-less show, but how cool would it be if Wills and Kate played it? :laugh:

One hour to go!

[Matt]

Starting now with the couple who got married a few hours ago

[GypsyGoth]

I think they will be awful at playing.

[Matt]

Gawd, what an obvious question :laugh:

I really hope they do well, would be a great start to married life

[Kerry]

Gawd, what an obvious question :laugh:

I really hope they do well, would be a great start to married life

Bet if they lose they get a grand or something

[Kerry]

A Royal Romp

[Matt]

Bet if they lose they get a grand or something

Well, they have posted a list of suppliers on their Facebook page so it looks like they'll be giving them a consolation prize, like they did in the Christmas episodes

[GypsyGoth]

I've lost £50,000 by accident, I missed it when I was moving mine at the last second.

[Kerry]

Rabbit Monkey

[Shaun]

never heard of owl or rabbit...would say rabbit.

[GypsyGoth]

I've split (for the first time) between Owl and rabbit.

[Matt]

I've lost £50,000 by accident, I missed it when I was moving mine at the last second.

Oh no, not a great start :laugh:

I'm guessing rabbit monkey on this one, just seems a bit too odd

[Matt]

They blatantly only let them keep that £25k because they're just married

[Kerry]

They blatantly only let them keep that £25k because they're just married

Yeah, thought so too

[Shaun]

Whatever the answer is, I'm going to make the two animals breed to create the answer.

[Shaun]

-goes off to find The Fast and the Bi-Curious-

[GypsyGoth]

:laugh2:

[Shaun]

is it weird to look and check what the time is when someone says it on TV?

[Boothy]

I've got £600k left.

[Shaun]

I'd say France.

[Boothy]

I've put £300k on UK and £150k on both Ireland and France.

[Kerry]

is it weird to look and check what the time is when someone says it on TV?

Yes, must be cos I do it

[Matt]

I spent too long thinking about it and just moved my million on France at the last second :(

[Shaun]

other countries have universal healthcare, Davina :bored:

[Boothy]

Meh.

[Boothy]

Shaun, you're avatar is so trippy. I was staring at it for ages waiting for something to happen.

[Shaun]

:laugh:

well this is pretty obvious.

[Shaun]

also, that was a past question, not the present :nono:

[Matt]

Went with them on that one, though it was pretty obvious

I watched approximately ten minutes of footage of today's wedding and none of that involved David Beckham

[GypsyGoth]

I'm going to try make it to the end with something, I still have £325,000. Usually by this time I would have lost at least 17 million :D

[Shaun]

I'm going to try make it to the end with something, I still have £325,000. Usually by this time I would have lost at least 17 million :D

no wonder the economy is in turmoil :bored:

[Boothy]

I only have £150k :(

[Matt]

also, that was a past question, not the present :nono:

Haha!

Good luck with that GG ;)

[GypsyGoth]

no wonder the economy is in turmoil :bored:

:laugh:

[GypsyGoth]

Haha!

Good luck with that GG ;)

Do you still have your starting million?

[Boothy]

Doner Kebab.

[Boothy]

Pretty sure they're gonna lose

[Shaun]

would've gone for Doner Kebab since that sounds quite hard to put into a pot noodle.

[Matt]

Do you still have your starting million?

Yep, but I almost lost it on the life expectancy question by not placing it quickly enough

Put it all on Kurrywurst for this one - I know Bombay Bad Boy is a flavour and Doner Kebab sounds like it would be a flavour

[Boothy]

Well, that's all my money gone.

[GypsyGoth]

Hard luck Boothy, I only lost £50,000 that round.

[GypsyGoth]

I didn't think they'd be doing this well, I hope they win with at least one hundred thousand now.

[Kerry]

46p

[GypsyGoth]

I thought 46p too but I split just in case.

[Matt]

Definitely 46p, I remember reading it in the news

[MeMyselfAndI]

Lol i know its 46p

[GypsyGoth]

They will be divorced by tomorrow.

[Shaun]

:(

[Smithy]

why does the man look so familiar http://oi56.tinypic.com/23ubh3b.jpg

[MeMyselfAndI]

he shouldn't of been so greedy

[Kerry]

Kates older than William

[MeMyselfAndI]

Kate is older, by 5 months i know!

[GypsyGoth]

That is good enough for me, I'm gonna win £150,000 :amazed:

[MeMyselfAndI]

They could have won so much :shocked:

[GypsyGoth]

why does the man look so familiar http://oi56.tinypic.com/23ubh3b.jpg

He looks familiar to me too :conf2:

[Matt]

That is good enough for me, I'm gonna win £150,000 :amazed:

There's still half an hour to go :p

Gone for Kate Middleton

[GypsyGoth]

There's still half an hour to go :p

Gone for Kate Middleton

Oh, I was expecting to see a secret webpage with instructions on how to get onto the show. I guess I could still make it :D

[Smithy]

He looks familiar to me too :conf2:

hmmm http://oi56.tinypic.com/23ubh3b.jpg

[MTVN]

Damn, didnt realise this was on early this week

[Matt]

Oh, I was expecting to see a secret webpage with instructions on how to get onto the show. I guess I could still make it :D

I think you play until the end of the show, unless they've changed it

[Matt]

Damn, didnt realise this was on early this week

It's on at 9pm on Fridays and Saturdays for the rest of the series

[MTVN]

It's on at 9pm on Fridays and Saturdays for the rest of the series

Ah right, thanks :)

[Kerry]

Awwwww so nice

[GypsyGoth]

I'm glad they won, but it's a shame he will feel guilty for ages.

[MTVN]

Calm down dear

[Matt]

You look beautiful
Stopping the clock with three seconds left, what's the point :D

[Kerry]

Calm down dear

No, that was dickhead Cameron

[MTVN]

No, that was dickhead Cameron

Yeah, I just found the thought of him saying it to her at the altar quite funny :laugh:

[GypsyGoth]

I'm going with them.

[Kerry]

Yeah, I just found the thought of him saying it to her at the altar quite funny :laugh:

Have to say I'd love to know what a few of their whispers actually were :laugh:

[Matt]

Don't know this, but it's so damn obvious :laugh:

I think Memoirs of a Fruitcake is Chris Evans

[MTVN]

Memoirs of a fruitcake

Edit - or not ^

[Smithy]

Id have gone for all balls and glitter

[MTVN]

I've never heard of him :/

[Matt]

I've never heard of him :/

He's a bisexual Strictly Come Dancing judge with a boyfriend... does that help you narrow it down? ;)

[MTVN]

He's a bisexual Strictly Come Dancing judge with a boyfriend... does that help you narrow it down? ;)
