Who wants to be a Millionaire - Charles Ingram

[LuigiMario91]

Omfg, all of this happened on my birthday, Sept 9. I lol'd, he cheated when I turned 10 in 2001. xDDD

[RaffClydeFc]

His wife wrote a book because she went on a quiz show?

They should be jailed just for that.

[MrBennetzen]

"Cough, Cough" The difference between Michael Larson's appearence on Press Your Luck and Charles Ingram is: Micheal got his money, Charles got zip.

[TimpBizkit]

Also when they do the show, do they have that dramatic music playing in the background or is it silent in the studio and they just dub the track in for TV? That would probably mask all but the loudest coughs.

[TimpBizkit]

You could possibly shine a laser pointer onto the opposite wall behind Chris Tarrant on the correct answer

[TimpBizkit]

Don't look round or you'll turn into a pillar of salt

[TUBESTEAKNIG]

At least we know it's not staged... so many tv shows seem to be staged these days, rather disappointing

[TimpBizkit]

Do not look round

"looks round"

I'm sorry you leave with nothing

[TimpBizkit]

Couldn't he have answered the last question by himself??

[thebenteel]

KNEEL BEFORE GENERAL ZOD

[sykelole2]

So we meet again 240p...

[GMPLAS7]

Except he did NOT cheat! Read my online essay - TheMillionaireThree . Or Bob Woffinden´s piece in the Daily Mail of October 9th 2004 - Is The Coughing Major Innocent? . Or Jon Ronson in the Guardian of July 2006 - Are The Millionaire Three Innocent? . Or pp 101-109 of Ian Leslie´s 2011 book BORN LIARS. Or google me; James Plaskett.

[spidersliveonearth]

They cheated so badly, they caused 9/11.

[mircea1910]

in this first part of the documentary, why the hell are they teaching us how to cheat?

[wetterdew]

Charles Ingram, you are a cheater and a thief, and you weren't even close to smart enough to get away with it.

[lilmissy901]

isnt it weird this was two days before 9/11?

[redfox2020]

@lilmissy901 how is that relevant?

[lilmissy901]

@redfox2020 its not. i just saw the date and just reminded me of that..no big deal.

[KDK239]

@redfox2020 Fuck you because I was thinking the same thing. Great catch @lilmissy901

[redfox2020]

@KDK239 retard

[KDK239]

@redfox2020 You're a retard, fuck face.

[redfox2020]

@KDK239 nnnnnnp bbs, lets not fight its nearly xmas. have a gooden

[KDK239]

@redfox2020 MARRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!! XOXO

[TerrorToBehold]

@lilmissy901 1 day actually. He was doing a terrible job on 09/09/01 started the cheating at 10/09/01

[MrsTakumi]

Greed thats all it is.. just Greed

[Frequency404]

@MrsTakumi

Also greed!.....oh, well fuck.

[AAsupreme23]

Quick! Stop watching before its too late! It's not worth it, trust me!

[HLimmen]

It's crazy going directly for the 1 million. Because this will raise suspicion only more, they should've stopped at least 4 questions before that, so it wouldn't get noticed.

[willdaviesable]

Who is the black man at 1:36?

[cmdusty01]

@willdaviesable trevor mc donald

[lewnik69]

CHARLES INGRAM LATER THAT EVENING DECLARED WHEN HE DIES HE DOESNT WANT TO BE PUT INTO A COFFIN!!!!

[thatg98y6]

Anyone wearing a t-shirt like that is a loser.....

[16ponygal]

Freekin hilarious! I loved his 'reasoning' behind some of the answers, then the cough and suidden change of heart ... lmfao funny :-))

[thelength1]

Lol.........Charles and Diana :P

[Bandyfoz]

Watch from 7:43. Hmm, good thing he hasn't done this sort of thing before!

[jrg135]

His wife and his wife's brother had also been on the show and won & no one thought it was suspious ??

[VariedLyrics]

@jrg135 They didn't both win the million too...I believe they won 32,000 each. So no room for suspicion before the game began.

[jrg135]

@VariedLyrics What I meant was I don't believe that 3 members of the same family have ever managed to get through on the phone, get picked for the show and win the buzzer question and actually play the game with Chris, the odds of that happening must be tremendous . without some help ?

[VariedLyrics]

@jrg135 Ah right, I misunderstood. You have a good point, hmmm it's just luck I guess.

[SuperSweetalicous]

charles reminds me of robin williams

[jakthemak]

@NickR1980 to give us an idea on what happened.

[noal63]

He probably got mad and caused 9/11 2 days later......

[FabBriceful]

Great video! Is it possible to download the whole movie somewhere?

[drewan79]

they went to court and were found guilty of procuring the execution of a valuable security by deception.

[ugotpked09]

what happened the day after he won the million o.o

[ConmanBenitez]

This was a publicity stunt..as millionaire ratings were flagging

[DiscoveringReason]

@ConmanBenitez I'd believe it

[fruitcake0anon]

@ConmanBenitez Evidence?

[ThAceQuinn]

Lol major winner

[Johnbruceguitars]

His wife looks like an evil witch!! Hiss accomplice helped him for a pound of cough drops!

[blainyrules]

How to add a comedy element: watch with closed captions on.

[ChocandIce]

I really dont understand why they let a women and then her husband go on the show

[mikeytoon24]

Fucking weird how the whole family managed to get in the hot seat

[mity15]

he cheated and lost har har

[squeallymaniac]

how did he cheat?

[VagrantWatcher213]

@squeallymaniac He was just going like "I think it's A... No it's B... Maybe C..." and someone would cough. It indicated something, and it was really loud and obvious.

[PigsOnATrain]

@squeallymaniac did you watch the video?

[TimpBizkit]

They ought to make that a lifeline

50:50

Phone A Friend

Ask The Audience

Cough

[TheParodyBoys86]

I watched this on tv years ago

[MissMoodyGirl1]

hahaha that's not obvious at all...such a bad hoax

[BleachDeath13]

2 days before the terrorist attack

[actofduty]

serious fraud out of sheer desperation, nearly did it though, they said if the cheating stopped 4 questions earlier they would still have won a large amount of money..

[GameAaron]

HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAX

[darthspeaks]

"Cough cough" I'm innocent!

[ascbay]

fukkin piss funny haha

[MakenzieLpk]

he died a few days ago, chris tarrent paid for the funeral, but not for the coffin XD

[Olemwrongway]

was the program aired before they discovered that he was cheating?:P

[PassWorId]

@Olemwrongway The answer is at 1:21

[SirGrodusFTW]

What's Charles Ingram's favorite Pokemon?

-Koffing

[Alexmo555]

@SirGrodusFTW And his least favourite is Pikachu.

[shakeshaftthomas]

@SirGrodusFTW THAT SIR IS GENIUS!



[Indycolts527]

The next day after this millionaire , the worst terroist attack in american history happened

[Gencturk92]

i remember when this happened, it was way long time ago. time is going quick

[tcoom76]

Chum-Dog Millionaire....except he actually cheated

[LucyAliice]

twat

[TheScaryChipmunk]

I guess that wasnt the worst thing to happen that week though!!

[TheGossipPrincess1]

@TheScaryChipmunk what else happened??

[AndreaRiv100]

@TheGossipPrincess1 lol

[prakash2187]

ofcourse he repeated a 9/11.

[SegaNintendoGuy64]

To cheat or not to cheat that's cheatet.

[yankeesfan63000]

The Major taught me something:

If I never heard of A, I'm fairly sure it's not B, C is possible and my first guess to the question is D, then the answer must be A.

I understand the host cannot stop the show due to coughing, but after $32,000 it was laughably obvious.

[Kittywhiskers1000]

@yankeesfan63000 Even so, apparently the crew had no idea how they were cheating throughout the entire game, but they knew they were somehow. Since they couldn't figure out 'how' exactly, they couldn't stop the show.

[yankeesfan63000]

@Kittywhiskers1000 I'm glad they didn't stop the show. The Major had a split second of hope in his mind that nobody would catch on and the money would be his. Then he got the call saying how the check wouldn't be cleared and he didn't sound upset at all; like he knew.

[BackInAGiffy]

what a weird family

[likeBAAAM]

if i could go back in time i'd sit in the area where the cougher was and cough at a wrong answer >;)

[SachTard]

Its funny cause he lost his toes LOL

[Mistrinho7]

Wow..with Croatian subtitles..nice!!!

[truecrime80]

How the fuck did he get the right answear?

[ROEFilms]

@truecrime80 - Watch the later parts to find out.

[randomdave30]

I don't blame him for attempting to defraud the show as it panders to GREED and that brings out the worst in people. At the same time, Charles Ingram was a slimy little turd.

[kebabs4eva]

Haha you win $1000 in the us but £1000 in the UK ... GF , Now STFU.

[Zelda123aran]

Mr Benz Invented the car, and he was german.

[BigJonny91]

Lol he won... whats the problem..

[shaunitomlin]

@BigJonny91 Erm.....He cheated.

[littlesurfdude]

@shaunitomlin how did he cheat?

[weekoolrob]

@littlesurfdude

His wife and one of the contestants secretly agreed the would spilt the money. They coughed everytime he mentioned the right answer.

Which sounds really stupid and easy to spot but they cleverly disguised it.

[dcremixed]

@weekoolrob May I ask, even if they HAD been coughing on every right answer, how the hell did the people who were supposedly helping him, know the right answers themselves?? They had no contact to the outside world, as all phones were switched off. Chris tarrant himself stated that he didn't ''notice anything''. Im not defending him, it just always bugged me how nobody could explain that.

[Amity197111]

@dcremixed if u watch who wants to be a millionair major fraud they said there was a friend outside on a phone...he was asked to turn it off a couple of times but they kept catching him with it..they believe he was involved but never charged..

[CHANNELMICHAEL]

@dcremixed Whittock was just really lucky. The guy leaving on his phone was getting someone to research it.

[MrMikeDando]

I thought you had to be smart to go to Sandhurst!

[MrElectricUnicorn]

fail!



[power2k9]

just a few days away from 9/11 LMFAO

[spyang302]

September 9 2001....2 days away from 911 :0

[SkyBon0]

Oh, come on people. Stop arguing whether UK or US is better. Without cooperation you guys are all PWNED.

[RSThatWhiteGuy]

What language are the subtitles in?

[menogay]

@RSThatWhiteGuy czech

[Vanster2010]

@RSThatWhiteGuy It's Croatian, not Czech

[jacobeaves]

Pure psychopathic SCUM. He almost pulled this disgusting ploy off, then he was outed as an insurance fraudster. Now he's written two diabolical books, both on sale at amazon uk. Of course, like the fraudster cunt he is, he's written multiple glowing reviews for them. This guy really should be put down... what a hideous, wretched waste of oxygen. And don't even get me started on his wife. Everybody please lay waste to his books on Amazon. Igram, you are one load your mother should have swallowed.

[Broookolicious]

its not mill-in-air

it's mill-e-un

[tipofmytongue1024]

The first commercial for this program was for coughing medicine.

[shaunitomlin]

@tipofmytongue1024 CAVONIA!?

[tipofmytongue1024]

Jai ho!!

[electricmastro]

Money was the least of the UK's worries around the time that this happened....

[jazzmatik]

How did Whittock get all the answers???

[calderposse]

@jazzmatik exactley my question

[ROEFilms]

@jazzmatik - He didn't. He didn't know the £32,000 question.

[matthewfoong]

one of the potential contestants, the fastest finger people, went onto the american version a few years after this a won $500000

[Ifuclickhereurnotgay]

This happened on my Birthday!!!!

[whizzkid11k]

@Ifuclickhereurnotgay Birthday high-five!

[FSXpilot737]

SCARY! 2 DAYS BEFORE 9/11

[j5gsh]

@FSXpilot737 lol how is it scary? so what if it was 2 days before 9/11?! XD

[poynter14]

@FSXpilot737 Yeh... because fuck all else happens in the world each day? big things happen everyday man !

[cgsmitherine3]

i dont know about you but the music in the background just makes it scary yet really epic

[juggy444]

the intro music of who wants to be a millionaire reminds me of my childhood. the good old days

[MrGriser]

I like it at 1:10

[radiolaugh]

why is scotlan yard in for this? why is he going to court for this?

[FerrariGood]

With his wife and her brother already being on the show, I'd stop there already, the greedy bastards.

[experience23]

Oops, I meant Charles. LMFAO!

[experience23]

Chris Ingram is a dumb 2-faced hypocrite.

[18karan]

how did he cheat

[xASxDragoon]

@18karan someone in the crowd a coughing code

[alizekeriya]

@18karan by coughing

[dragons4ever2007]

they probably will never give Charles Ingram his million pounds until he's dead.

[MrGriser]

They won't give it to him at all wheather he is dead or not!

[glennm561]

was 2 before 9/11 so didnt go outside uk news wise...

[dragons4ever2007]

I wonder if this made headlines in Australia.

[psycropticunt]

@dragons4ever2007

yes, it did actually :D

[dragons4ever2007]

whoa, but i don't think i ever saw that on the news in australia as i was overseas at the time ...

[birdfly43]

@dragons4ever2007

prob lol yesterday i read that a cat climbed at tree and without knowing a guy cut the tree down

and the cat lived a 30ft fall???

pretty sure it did

[ShyGuy19898]

Gosh i remember this!!! it certainly made HEADLINES in the UK...WOW it was MASSIVE MASSIVE MASSIVE news for MONTHS AND MONTHS

[muffinojustice]

Grr, wal-mart sucks

[JohnDXCenaHas2Words]

Wow. Someone noticed that this was 2 days before the 9/11 attacks.

[scottishlad1987]

don't tell me that's a coincidence!

[muffinojustice]

I love windchimex!

Yes, windchimex is right about everything, do some research you dumb American cunts!

The television comes from Scotland, we created who wants to be a millionare, the weakest link and the price is right.

America is also trying to buy asda and make it a part of wal-mart

FUCK YOU!

[JainasMyBITCH]

@muffinojustice It's already a part of wal-mart >:(

[muffinojustice]

henry ford, American, inventor of cars, the charcoal briquette and other things

Thomas Edison, America, - invented many things, but in fact the light bulb was invented by someone else, Edison stole the idea

Albert Einstein, german, came up with lots of theories, e = mc2

Isaac Newton, British

Benjemin franklin, British

The television was in fact invented by a Scottish person, so fuck you Americans, the british came up with one of the most important inventions in history

[lewisduncan93]

@muffinojustice

I agree. I hate how some Americans say "Oh do they have television in Scotland?"

Fuck sake, the Scots invented it.

Brits win!

[venusasaboy1991]

@lewisduncan93

My mate went to America and got asked whether we had coffee in England.. and it is arguably the most powerful nation on the planet.. how fuckin scary is that?

[mikecappa]

@venusasaboy1991 americans are ignorant. best to ignore them

[OlderG0ds]

ironically, the statement you just made is ignorant.

congratulations on being an ignorant hypocrite who calls other people ignorant (305 million to be exact)

[mikecappa]

@OlderG0ds no, they all are ignorant. all 305 million.

[As3sinoL0C0]

@lewisduncan93 Nobody ever says that you moron.

[stephen88hox]

@lewisduncan93 but they didnt have anything to watch

[1medislim]

@lewisduncan93 Americans are well known for their ignorance...I am not surprised. The real tragedy is, they actually believe they are God's Gift to the Planet ;-)

[MrScottttx]

@lewisduncan93 no brits dont win. SCOTS WIN !!!!

[lkjhgfdsa123able]

@lewisduncan93 hm, i dont believe i have ever heard an american say that...not once even, and i actually live in america...strange

[ron2929]

@lewisduncan93 There's television in Scotland?

[pulrh]

@ron2929 Only one, which is owned by an English family that moved there 'cos they liked really shit weather. Yo should see the crowds outside their living-room windows whenever Braveheart is on the telly.

[MiiEdward]

@lewisduncan93

Who said this?

[sunset261]

@muffinojustice benjamin franklin was never british. He was always american. Americans invented the personal computer. Microsoft and apple? yeah, that's us too.And don't forget the assembly line too. BTW Edison didn't invent the lightbulb but made one that far outdid any of the previous ones. Don't forget americans also invented video games. So if you try to say Americans are stupid well, technology disagrees.

[TheDeadlyFlame]

@sunset261 lol no need to get ignorant here 

[sunset261]

@TheDeadlyFlame How exactly was i being ignorant?

[seva404]

How did he cheat?

[millsy1804]

People were coughing in the arguments and hinting the answers

[JohnDXCenaHas2Words]

Not people. Only one person.

[xZZxTakedown]

Both of you Americans and Brits STFU. lol

[IvchyHR]

O moj Bože!!

Haha... iz Hrvatske si!! =)

[thebotherer]

@GifDude hand on didn't it happen ON 9/11?

im confused :P

[donsll]

@GifDude YOU CAUSE 9/11, go on google and type Fig, from your name.

then look at the stock and as of Tuesday 5:29 2010, Mkt Cap was 2.09 billion.

0s cant exist in natural numbers you make the 0 a 1 and the 2 gets deducted because of the train that crashed in new brunswick causing a guy to fall over writing 1 in the snow, then the 9 moves to the front from 1.19 to 91.1 then again you make the decimal place over one step thus making 9.11 then you change all periods to a forward slash sign

[GifDude]

@donsll umm ok. it was a joke but w/e

[alextankian]

@GifDude

Naah, this is in England, we aren't like that. Also, we don't accuse people of something if they did something bad a couple of days before a big bad thing. Fuck America.
