Classic Millionaire Episode with Barry from Eggheads

[JeniPeni]

I've just watched a classic episode of Millionaire and Barry Simmons from Eggheads was on. But he had a friend as his guest in the audience and she looks soooo familiar - does anyone know she is? I think Chris Tarrant said her name was Diane. This will do my head in if I don't find out what shes appeared in. Thanks in advance

Sorry I can't answer your question but interested to know how much Barry won

[JeniPeni]

He won �64,000, but passed on a question about the Channel Islands.

Didn't see it myself but Major Ingram's ( he of the coughing episode ) wife's name was Diane, I think. Could it have been her?

[Everhelpful]

And how he got on the show in the first place,I have tried for 4 years.!! Methinks they are hand-picked.

[Claud.Butler]

Some may be picked now that there are auditions.
Years ago it cost me more than �2000 in phone calls to get on...

[Everhelpful]

Did you get on,claud? if so how did you do?

[dot.haukes]

I do know that once you have been on one of the ITV quizz shows you are then invited to audition for others by the researchers. They give you a contact number and details of when and how to apply

[Claud.Butler]

[Claud.Butler]

[glasman]

Major Ingram's ( he of the coughing controversy ) wife's name was Diiane. She was also a contestant on the show. Could it have been her?

[dot.haukes]
