When Judith Keppel won the first million on Millionaire, she took her time getting off the contender row, only doing it at the third attempt (she had been correct on the first two but not quick enough), and when she did she was the only one to correctly sort out the Fastest Finger question.  The bloke who was second up beat her out of the contender line by 0.02 seconds, had to use two lifelines to get to £1000 and nearly fucked that up because he pronounced 'rioja' as 'rosya' and didn't know it was non-sparkling out of a foursome including champagne, cava and asti spumante.

Conrad Hunte played 44 tests for the West Indies and was knighted in his native Barbados. He was a devout Christian, worked tirelessly in his latter years in the area of racial equality and was one of nine children. His brothers Warwick and Isaac were equally talented but couldn't get past people pissing themselves laughing at their names.
