QUIZ airs on ITV and AMC starring Michael Sheen and Matthew Macfadyen

April 2020
Last night we saw the first episode of QUIZ, the ITV drama about how Charles Ingram, the “coughing Major”, won £1 million on the show WHO WANTS TO BE A MILLIONAIRE in 2001, then was exposed as a cheat and lost it all.

Matthew Macfadyen plays Ingram, with Sian Clifford (best known as Claire in FLEABAG) as his wife Diana, while Michael Sheen takes the role of the show’s host Chris Tarrant.

The outline of the case is well-known. Ingram managed to win the grand prize becoming only the ITV show’s third millionaire, despite vacillating over a number of questions throughout his run. The couple were accused of having an accomplice, Tecwen Whittock, who’d coughed to signal which answer Ingram should give. read more in The Telegraph

Matthew has created new cues for the 20th anniversary season of WHO WANTS TO BE A MILLIONAIRE which returned to ITV this May.

To mark the 20th anniversary of the global hit game show, WHO WANTS TO BE A MILLIONAIRE, the iconic programme returned to ITV for a week of celebratory episodes. Airing as a stripped event across one week in May, the 7x60 minute episodes played out every night on ITV and was hosted by brand new presenter, Jeremy Clarkson. 
 
The show offered members of the public the chance to win £1,000,000. Each contestant took the opportunity to answer 15 questions on their way to winning this life changing prize, helped along the way by familiar lifelines of asking the audience, asking a friend and taking the 50:50 option. Plus there were a number of new twists and turns for audiences to look forward to. read more
