Although I watched it this afternoon that is not the point. Tonights WW episode goes out at 11.30. At 10.30 - 11.30 on ITV2 is the Who Wants to Cough to be a Millionaire special.  |

I know what he means. On ITV is the main documentary about the whole scandal, then on ITV2 afterwards is the episode of when it happened. That episode has never been aired on tv so it's another one of those things to watch. Wonder if everyone will be talking about this tomorrow like they were after the Michael Jackson docu.

The cheating son of a .....
Ever since I read a transcript of the episode a couple of weeks ago, it was obvious something iffy was going on. It's something you have to see to believe. That was definitely fraud.
It kind of takes the shine away from those other people who have made their way to winning an honest million, in the sense that sometimes it can be made easier than it looks.
Anyway, WW time....

Aaah. I don't have digital so I did not know that untill after the documentary.
Which was shocking.
Hopefully ITV1 will show the full thing.

Looking back, ITV1 showed the best programme. And it includ the whole episode, interweaved with with interviews and stuff. On ITV2 was the programme as it would have gone out, but I'm certain they've amplified the coughing because it was certainly very obvious to anybody watching that the coughs = answers. It was a tad boring having watched 90 minutes of it already.  |

Do you think C4 will ever sell the right to TWW to ITV so the program might be shown at a decent hour for those of us who have to get up early for school Tuesday morning??
They probably won't but just a thought, what does everyone else think?

C4 don't specifically own the rights to TWW. Ok, they own the rights to show it on TV at the moment, but Warner Bros. own the ultimate rights. So unless another channel joins in and places a bid when rights come up for sale then who knows. The ideal place for TWW would be BBC2, who have more respect for imported drama. If C4 dropped TWW then perhaps the beeb might pick it up. Other than that, another channel would have to feel a certain something about the show when deciding whether to bid. It's not uncommon. ITV lost Home & Away to Channel 5. Channel 4 lost out to SKY ONE when it came to new series of Friends several years ago. Likewise, SKY ONE dropped TWW after one season and E4 took over. More famously perhaps is BBC 2 losing The Simpsons to C4. It could happen. It might happen. It's just a case of who knows? |

BBC2 don't always show respect, they haven't shown an episode of Buffy for ages, and 24 misses the odd week. At least they keep the time each programme is on the same though.

Just seen the ad for Bremner, Bird and Fortune. Spoof of the Millionaire thing. ;D
Of all the impressionists who attempt politics, Rory Bremner's the best

It's a really good programme, the only done side is Martin Bashir narrating. It's funny how he manages to ruin all the programmes he does with his annoying voice.

Does Martin Bashir narrate the Millionaire episode? I thought he just did the documentary.

Just the documentary, not the episode.
