  • I truely believe he coulda acted less conspicious!! And good gosh, just be recucing the ammount of coughs per question woullda made it infinitly harder to catch him out!!

  • Maybe if he didnt cough so fucking much he might of got away with it

  • Wow. It's been a long time, like 2 years since I watched this.

    Anyway, what a cheater Ingram is.

  • Many P.T.E's and Lance Corporals Enjoyed this comuppance of a crooked man.

  • wtf i wasted over an hour and they didnt show the part he got caught -_-

  • If someone even remotely suspected that the coughing was a code, they should've just started coughing randomly

  • If he had backed out to 500,000 pounds. Do you think he would have been caught?

  • I can't believe how much of a terrible liar this guy is.. "idk didk.omg omg".. "Well I'ma gamble.. its blah blah" Yeah right, no one in their right mind would gamble like that

  • That is sooo easy...thats why Google is named like that (it is a transformed word of the original Googol which because it represents a huge number it shows the amount of info found on the web)

  • omg at 4:01 thats when the person in the audience coughed!! he cheated!

  • 4:01 *cough cough*

  • I KNEW THAT LAST QUESTION! I WANT MY £1,000,000!!!!!!!!!!

  • I love Chris' (the host) facepalm at 0:29

  • his wife turns his head on the million pound question cus she is thinking why did we put this tit up in the seat

  • I dont think its googol.  i never heard of a googol. googol final answer.

  • Major: "I wish I could look round"

    Tarrant: "I wouldn't...Charles, do not look round...trust me on this, do not look round..."

    *inside Tarrant's mind he is saying "...cos your wife is fucking horrific" *

  • his sister is like, wow you fucking fail just stfu

  • if he stopped at 500000 or 250 suspicion would have been far less

  • Try pages 101-109 of Ian leslie´s highly praised book Born Liars, and see him arguing for Ingram´s innocence. @defeat001 I won 250,000 on this show, and I took over 20 mins to answer some questions. I did not cheat + neither did Charles Ingram.

  • Does it seem a bit ironic that since I watched this (as well as the Major Fraud documentary) I've ended up with a persistant cough?

  • you either know the answer or you dont know. you cant think and think and then all of a sudden know the answer... fucking useless cheating mink

  • Don´t think so, tchekitout. Ronson attended every day of the trial, was as convinced as you, and changed his mind after he read my essay.

  • Just one snag: Ingram Is Innocent! Read my 35,000 word essay on the topic and read Bob Woffinden Is The Coughing Major Innocent? in the Daily Mail of Oct 9th 2004 and Jon Ronson Are The Millionaire Three Innocent in The Guardian of July 2006. Or look me up: James Plaskett.

  • @GMPLAS7 TWAT

  • Mom: Where did you find that porn site?

    Me: I typed porn on google....cough ! cough! cough!

  • lol i learned that last question in 4th grade

  • Just embarrassing!

  • I was quite frankly amazed he even NEEDED to cheat on this question. Seriously, this was like the easiest question on the entire show! I l knew it when it first came on and I was TWELVE. Seriously...

  • LOL at his wife's face at 2:17 3:05 3:22 4:09 4:30 5:12 6:19 - she knew exactly that he's just fucking up big time and that they'll get caught...

  • I wish I was in that audience so I could just stand up and shout CHEATER!!!!!!! And totally fuck him over lol. Btw for the people going on about that whole Currency thing it's pretty bullshit in Canada, like Americans think we have monopoly money, no, it's a security feature so that at a quick glance you can tell what the amount of the bill is, but with American cash they're all the same color and can be misleading, especially when working a cash register.

  • @happyoldMEN Not like dollars have numerical markings on them or anything.

  • @kango1170 That's why I said at a quick glance smart-ass

  • 1:04 " think its a nanomol".....2:02 " I DONT think that is a nanomol"

  • Why didn't he make it less obvious?

    Instead of saying "I think it's _____" or "It could be _____" only to change his mind on a whim. He could have just mentioned each one and said: "_____, I'm not sure what is." etc.

  • I got a B in Maths and even I know the answer to that...

  • I wish I could have watched this without knowing he was cheating!! Now I'm just listening for the coughing...I want to know how noticeable it would be if I didn't know it was there!!!

  • easiest million quid question ever....

  • "You are the most amazing contestant we have ever, ever had!" You can say that again Tarrant you lanky, fork-lobbing twat.

    Why on Earth did Ingram not quit when he was ahead at the 250,000 nugget stage, even 500,000 nuggets? He could have bought a whole wardrobe of piss-poor shirts to go with that monstrosity.

    And get on Tecwen Whittock coughing his lungs up in the background - go and neck some calpol you fuckin hero!

    'Charles Ingram now repairs computers for a living'... hahahaha Christ!

  • @DickHillUberGrass so sorry, but i'm pretty sure that Tarrant left his mind reading powers at home and therefore wasn't able to know that Ingram was cheating.......

  • @DickHillUberGrass You do know he cheated there is a video i just finished watching with producer and creator of the show he was caught cheating.

  • @DickHillUberGrass Oh shit sorry i didn't read you comment properly lol. Nevermind.

  • googol. who hasn't heard of googol?! GOOGLE MAYBE!?

  • This guy sucks at cheating. I just had to hear the audio to know lmao

  • Damnn you know he banged his wife that nite

  • @ihumppies he got beat up b her to be more precise. he went to far with the fraud... they both went to prison for 18 months after the show

  • @ihumppies would you do that witch if you had just won a million?

  • @steelboned Hell nah id buy me a 1,000 dollar hooker

  • @ihumppies he and the cough man both did i bet

  • "i think i havent heard of a googol... thats so fucking bad acting they thought that its googol on the 4th grade here in finland.... "i think its not megatron" really... ye its the villain from transformers what a fucking douche

  • wife's acting is so bad

  • 3:22

    "My strategy has worked so far"

    Sure has....

  • HaHa only just seen this for first time i just watched all 8 clips and funny enough the only one i got right was the last one haha and i did'nt need anyone coughing lol

  • not much point watching this when someones posted the same thing in better quality.

  • The number of coughs in the back round is the answer. 1 cough = a, 2 coughs = b and so on. He looked so stupid up there it was totally obvious lol

  • @iiiMayorBEE9 it was actually more obvious than what you thought. The dude coughed whenever he said the right answer.

  • This idiot... At least get a smarter person to cheat.

  • it's like watching a train wreck lol

  • She married a moron.

  • I knew the million dollar question; my 6th grade teacher told us that as a fun fact. At 2:15, his wife's like "OH GOD WE'RE SCREWED." and at 3:05 she's like "Yeah we're screwed."

  • he should a gave up at 32 imo

  • its been proven they were cheating, search this title but replace his name with major fraud 1, it takes you though how they cheated, and how they were caught

  • they are a cheat

  • And then they spent 1,000,000 pounds to pay for their lawyers

  • @gloinstrong funny, but seriously, he spent 15 000 pounds for lawyers

  • @johnydalentine

    Not 15,000 of the prize money, it never got paid into his bank account.

  • @gloinstrong Actually his payout was suspended and following conviction, the 1,000,000 pounds was never given to him. All that he spent on lawyers were from his own pocket!

    Serves that cheating bastard right...

  • you have to cough once to tell someone its A and the audiance coughed 3 times and twice

  • 'I'm SURE it's Googol' *COUGH COUGH COUGH* Oh it must be Googol then. I smell cheating ;) Either that or someone needs Benylin ;)

  • cheatin bastard!!!

  • I learned about googol on a TVOKids' show.

    This was the easiest question of the bunch.

  • Comment removed

  • They got lucky because the questions were easy for them but the same thing was actually unlucky for them, got them caught (!). If they'd made it only to 250k, maybe they'd had gotten away with it.

  • googol; 1 digit followed by 100 zero's?

    gigabit; unit for digital computer storage?

    nanomole; way of measuring chemical substance/amount

    megatron; fictional character in the transformers franchise

  • I knew the answer to this question when i was 8 years old.

  • biggest cheater ever

  • his wife looks so embarised and devastated

  • chris ttarrent has verry pretty eyes

  • Comment removed

  • @yankeesfan630 you think gigabit is with computer memory, but you know exactly what nanomole is? u just goggled it! fake ass! and its funny how you wrote that word to word from wiki

  • @lilrick1990 actuallly i knew it because i took ap chemistry this year, in which we studied prefixes such as nano-, pico-, kilo-, etc. and a mole is used frequently in chemistry to refer to 6.022x10^23 molecules of a compund or element. nice try though. ill delete that comment if it makes you feel better

  • lol @ description

    

  • 2:37 She looks super pissed

  • Dear Americans: the final question is for a million POUNDS NOT DOLLARS.

  • @blainyrules them not understanding really shows that americans are really retarded.

  • @blainyrules Hahaha. They don't know that other currencies exist. My conversation with a guy on a train from New Haven to New York: Him: So, you are from Europe? Me: I certainly am. Him: So, you've got the Eurodollar? Me. We have Euro. Him: Yeah, the Eurodollar. Me. It is called EURO. Him: That's what I said, the Eurodollar. Me: ....... :-)))))
  • hes a fool. "i think its a nanomole." not much later... "i dont think its a nanomole." he made it so obvious to be honest

  • He should have brought someone along that had tourettes. "I think it may be a googol...." "CUNT!"...."Yes, it's a googol..."

  • @LordLolinghamThe3rd tourettes makes everything more enteraining.

  • Those three should consider themselves lucky that they haven't gotten any "real" punishment besides having had their cheque taken away. In many ways it's no different from robbing a million pounds from some bank.

    Anyway if they had remained more subtle and the major wasn't so unbelievingly stupid not to be able to answer anything by himself, they would have gotten away with it. I thought that knowing what giga, mega and nano mean was high school material.

  • Imagine if some random dude had a cold that day

  • I'm not sure, however... I never heard of the word... and yes, that's my final answer.

  • Nano - refers to something small

    Gigabit - Computer related

    Megatron - a fucking transformer

    LOL

  • @DarKNeSSCaLLeD22 A mole is very large, and not many people know how exactly big it is, so nanomole and googol are both viable.

  • Respond to this video...  also at the time googol wasn't that well known...

  • @DarKNeSSCaLLeD22 That's exactly how I got the answer right! I actually said Googol withing seconds, because I thought that's what Google named themselves after and I think that might have been the number of pages that is in Google's database. Quite a simple answer really. And Google would have been 3 years old at the time of this show.

  • 2:53 is the look of everyone watching this episode...

  • I'm surprised they didn't stop in the middle, the coughing was just too obvious and i thought the big give away was when he kept sayin i haven't heard of Crag David and he went for that answer and then said the same to the last one

  • What? I thought a one with a hundred 0's behind it is the leader of the decepticons.

  • cheating scumbag! if i saw him i'd punch him square in the face. smarmy shitbag!

  • @xGleek89x Which one they are both cheats!

  • @WadzillaBhoy trueee! :/ 

  • lol, he doesn't know any answer, he just says "I don't think its a....." they should ask the person: "WHY" so they'll know if he is really cheating at that point..

  • Lmao I'm not english and even know the answer.

  • 2 coughs at the end of his guessing means thats the answer

  • i am positive its c. *cough cough* .....but then again it could be b.

  • 2:10 MEGA BLINKING EYES! :D

  • I knew the answer to the final question when I was 15.

    lmao, 'if looks could have killed'...... yep, she is that damn ugly

  • this guy has cheated, he didnt get nothing and he was sentenced to 18 month in prison for fraud.

  • His wife thinks, "Don't fuck this up you idiot or I'll divorce you and the kids will NEVER get their fucking pony!"

  • good for him for using his initiative and he seems like a nice bloke as well

  • @tiasarahellielorna Exactly! If you can take advantage of a situation you shoul always do it!

  • @tiasarahellielorna Lol you don't realise he cheated his way to a mil? Hahaha

  • hahahaha million pound question is the easiest!!!! lol "it could be gigabit " hahahahahahaha ...:d

  • Nanomole is chemistry, gigabit is computer science... that eliminates C and D... Megatron sounds like a tranformer ahha but I knew it was a googol anyways,.. I first heard that in 1st grade! So that was when this aired I guess /:

  • EASIEST ANSWER EVER AND THIS RETARDED FUCKER COULDN'T EVEN GET IT WITHOUT HELP

  • he would have gotten away with it too if it weren't for that meddling production team

  • I'm surprised that so many people "know the answer only because of Google"...I'd heard of the term well before that, when my mother and I had a discussion about terms for really strange numbers one day.

    I'll grant that it was a rare occurrence, but it's a common enough term that more than 1% of people will have heard of it.

  • so is he still in jail? what happened to the dude

  • I knew the answer due to physics, chemistry, and engineering courses.

    I mean even if you hadn't. everyone knows that mega = 6 and giga = 9. and most people associate nano with tiny, which it is with *10^-9. but without the search engine, I honestly never would've remembered that googel was 10^100, but question is still easy for anyone who's had high school chem

  • @Thuase Giga means 10^9 or 1 multiplied by 1,000,000,000. It certainly does not 'equal' 9. However you are correct otherwise. Not everyone who had high school chem remembers what was taught.

  • A ghetto Phil Collins

  • lol his missus ought to get a job in films what an actress lol

  • What a retard!

  • 1 Milijun!

  • COUGH COUGH!!

  • It was obvious on the later half of the questions, he didn't know the answers to them. And as he talked them out and pondered them, ..his final "guesses" just happened to be the right answers to all of them? That should raise a suspicious flag in itself right off!

  • hes still wearing that shirt ! :P

  • I wonder how much of that million the cougher was suppose to get?

  • I love it how his wife shows no emotion whatsoever and doesnt laugh when the audience does. Definitely a cheat

  • I AGREE, the wife has a real bitch face

  • Instead of saying its not each one, he should have just said the possible answers. Cause after you say its not this, then he coughs you have to pull a 360 and say oh but it is that!!

  • Yes, they had a system, little cheatin, maybe.. cougher coulda been wrong right, like he had 15 life lines or with big money concerned, you think this all should be explained up front on cheatin or is it? or no one in studio during questions...theese folks (producers) would never make it as CAsino owners...(the show i mean)

  • 100000000000000000000000000000­000000000000000000000000000000­000000000000000000000000000000­00000000000 Googol

    

  • He's so obvious, he just randomly changes his mind.

  • @diehard243 *cough cough* (2 coughs for yes) I agree. I thought the answers leading up to the million pound question were more difficult.

  • @diehard243 I guarantee you in 2001 not many people knew what the googol was. Most people know what it is now because of the search engine. Be honest., in 2001 you probably wouldn't have known the anwser.

  • LEGEND! Just wish I thought of this...

  • Can you all shut the fuck up about how this is the "easiest million dollar question ever"? I am positive that 99% knew the answer ONLY because of the Google search engine. This took place before Google was ever released to the public. If there was no Google, I doubt any of you idiot fucks would know the answer, you would probably choose megatron because of how stupid you are.

  • 5:48 - 5:53 lol

  • easy question, this is for 1000 pounds no million

  • His wife can't act.

  • I like how he faked the cry too, nice.

  • Statistically impossible ... 9 of his answers were complete guesses so the chance of him getting all of them right were 0.0003815 % :P

  • Googol, lol

  • this million dollar question was the easiest ever.... I knew the answer before the choices... looked at all the parts and wasn't sure for about half the question... but the milllion dollar question was EASY!

  • @hash2pat

    i bet you didn't know it in 2001

  • @hash2pat I agree 100%. I honestly think it was easier then the 100 pound question.

  • @hash2pat I thought the same thing, but I guess any question is easy if you know the answer :)

  • @hash2pat me too

  • @hash2pat *pound

  • @hash2pat For a million dollar question that was too easy.. The fact they put Megatron as a choice...

  • What is wrong with his wife! She should know that ti's a googol, everyone knows that, don't they?

  • His wife is horrible.. shes gonna divorce him soon as he wins for the 500 grand.

  • why is this one in such shitty ass quality

  • Should have put the guy/wife doing the coughing in the chair lol

  • This would have worked better if Charles Ingram wasn't such a dunce

  • A nanomole is a billionth of a gram times the molecular mass of the substance being measured. A gigabit is a unit of memory (1/8 of a gigabyte). Don't know what a megatron is (one of the Transformers; and a BMW M12/13 turbo 1500 cc 4-cylinder turbocharged Formula One motor)

  • Some people have actually compared Ken Basin to this guy? Sure Basin got greedy at the end but at least Basin played fair and square.

  • its so obvious when u know that he's cheating

  • The give away is that he actually plays for the million dollar question when he doesn't know it. No one else would ever attempt it

  • 2:37 - i bet that's what the fight was about after the show. " You retard!"

  • Stupid cheater! Type in "Millionaire Major Fraud" in on the searchbox. They've made a whole programme about it!
