The Cheating Major "Quiz"

[Stargazer]

Do you think Ingram is getting any payment or benefit from the tv programme. Quiz?

[chrissa1]

I don’t think so. Why would he?

[retrocop]

I watched,earlier today,the complete episodes on youtube when Ingram won his million. When I went back to youtube to get the link to post on here on another thread I noticed that the clip can no longer be sourced. A few other youtube clips have disappeared as well. I am wondering if it has anything to do with the disgraced Major's pending appeal against the convictions.
I suspect he may get some benefit from these three shows in future legal proceedings. I doubt he has profited by payment from ITV.

[Stargazer]

Whatever grounds does he have for an Appeal? Also why is the Appeal so long after the perceived "event"?

[chrissa1]

I agree SG. He was found guilty. Why now is he thinking of appealing? Doesn’t make sense.

[Canary42]

Late appeals are usually driven by new evidence coming to light. I don't know whether that's the case here.

[Maydup]

This mini series is a TV adaptation of the play Quiz, which ran in the West End a few years ago. I doubt Ingram benefits in any way from it.

The first two episodes were superb! Really edge-of-the-seat stuff, and I'm really looking for tomorrow night's denouement.

As for an appeal / re-trial based on new evidence, I'm really struggling to think what that new evidence could possibly be, other than maybe the TV company deliberately falsified the recordings by inserting extra coughs where there weren't any, or something similar. Allegedly, obviously!

[albaqwerty]

his appeal is something to do with new 'tech' apparently

[JimF]

OK, I'll take your word for it! Obviously, I won't visit the sun's website.

[tonyav]

Ah so there were other coughers in the audience as well then.

Snobs who eat deep-fried Mars bars?

Noticed a couple of mistakes on there last night.1)£250,000 cheque was not dated,when ever Chris Tarrant wrote out cheques they were always dated.2) Michael Sheen wrote out said cheque then said" We don't want to give you that" then promptly ripped it up,never saw that hap-pen unless contestant won the sum above i.e. £125,000 cheque ripped up when won £250,000

[grumpy01]

Happen not hap-pen big fingers sorry.

[Spicerack]

There's no pleasing some people, lol.

If it's accurate it's got to be accurate.

[royfromaus]

The Major appears to have been bullied into it.

Are you making that observation based on the drama, because, it is, as advertised, a drama, with no requirements in terms of accurate portrayal of what went on.

[grumpy01]

He is portrayed as being easily manipulated which you would have thought would be against type for an Army Major.
