James Graham (Dear England, Punch) takes us on a thrilling ride through the infamous Coughing Major scandal, which engulfed the world’s most popular TV quiz show.
April 2003. Army Major Charles Ingram, his wife Diana, and a coughing accomplice are convicted of cheating on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?
The evidence is damning. The nation is gripped by the sheer audacity of the plot to snatch the £1,000,000 jackpot.
But were they really guilty? Fingers on keypads, it's time for you to decide.
Performed by the LYT 2025 Company.
