I'm sure there's been many errors on quiz shows over the years, but MPD has had more than its fair share and could really do with a new research team.

Endemol surely won't be happy to pay out for mistakes like these... I wouldn't be surprised if someone was fired over this one

That has happened before - see here

Are the producers thick? Do they actually research into the questions?

I hope the boys take the money and run. I hope they don't have to come back again. Stupid Channel 4's mistake. lol

No problem. But yeah, they returned with the money they should have gone through to the next question with and eventually won £25,000.

There was a similar controversy in the American version as well, and the affected couple have been invited to return on the next series

Ouch, just read the mistake they made.. bet the 2 boys cant believe their luck lmao!

GypsyGoth 14-05-2011 08:00 PM

I might put it on for the questions, and then switch back to the eurovision :D

Matt 14-05-2011 08:26 PM

S**t. I went for Greenland too but now that you've said that I'm reconsidering Finland...

EDIT: Phew, thank goodness for that

I thought they would win after the semifinal, but after hearing some of the others, I'm not sure now.
