  Retired IT analyst wins. Who wants to be a millionaire?
• 0:08
  Welcome to Mark and Pete and against the odds someone has
• 0:13
  just answered 15 questions correctly.
• 0:16
  Yes, this is Mark and Pete. 2 blokes with half an opinion.
• 0:21
  Now here's our first thought. In the hot seat, Who wants to be
• 0:26
  a millionaire and sit in the chair under the TV glare.
• 0:30
  Then when you see the question and simply stare to discover
• 0:34
  with despair you haven't a prayer.
• 0:37
  Well, maybe that's me. I probably wouldn't be able to
• 0:40
  answer any of the questions. Well, we'll come on to the big
• 0:43
  millionaire question in a minute.
• 0:45
  Yes. Remarkably, a retired IT analyst
• 0:48
  has become the 7th person to win the £1,000,000 jackpot on Who
• 0:52
  Wants to Be A Millionaire? It's a popular show, it's been
• 0:56
  broadcast all around the world and there have been various
• 0:59
  nations with different formats. Now Roman Debowski has said that
• 1:03
  winning the ITV game in the United Kingdom has really been
• 1:07
  unreal, as he would say, and he had to have a cup of tea
• 1:10
  afterwards to let it all sink in.
• 1:12
  Well Mr. Pete, I think I would need more than a cup of tea, I
• 1:14
  think a bottle of whiskey and a barrel of rum just to sort of
• 1:20
  get over the the winnings. But what say you about this?
• 1:24
  This prize winning the show is long standing, but really,
• 1:30
  shouldn't it be now? Who wants to be a billionaire?
• 1:33
  What? Say you about this.
• 1:34
  Well, let let me give you a caution here.
• 1:36
  Mark Ecclesiastes 5 verse 10 five verse 10 from the word of
• 1:39
  God says whoever loves money never has enough Whoever loves
• 1:44
  wealth is never never satisfied with their income.
• 1:48
  Wise words I think as you see or just going after wealth isn't
• 1:53
  the answer to having a good life.
• 1:54
  Mind you, as a wise man once said, if you have lots of money,
• 1:59
  he doesn't make you happy, but he can give you a better class
• 2:02
  of, of depression. Now.
• 2:04
  I mean the, the, the, that's an interesting point that he should
• 2:09
  be a billionaire. Being a millionaire doesn't
• 2:11
  guarantee you money for life. Now to be able to live well for
• 2:16
  the rest of your life, a billionaire would.
• 2:18
  So maybe it should be up to. I'm not sure which production
• 2:22
  company is going to put up the money though.
• 2:24
  And of course, who wants to be a millionaire comes not the mark
• 2:27
  of being. Strong.
• 2:28
  When the well known song of that title, please don't sing it.
• 2:31
  It's cutting off, cutting off. But the yes, that's where it
• 2:35
  comes from. So it was a jaunty title, yes,
• 2:39
  but yes, it's it's I think it's when this sort of thing happens
• 2:43
  that someone actually wins it. It does.
• 2:46
  It's interesting. It's all part of the
• 2:48
  entertainment, even if you haven't won it yourself.
• 2:50
  So is this really just people seeking after wealth or is it
• 2:57
  really entertainment? Because you can't go into it
• 3:00
  thinking I'm going to win the million because it it's do you
• 3:04
  say it's the 7th after many years?
• 3:06
  It's the 7th 1, yes. Yes, yeah.
• 3:07
  So it's. Not the 8th.
• 3:09
  Surely you, surely you can't think that you're going to win
• 3:14
  it. So I think it's more of an
• 3:15
  entertainment and they normally say, yes, I've had a wonderful
• 3:17
  day, I enjoyed it very much even though they're crying softly
• 3:22
  that they didn't win. But you see, of course you can
• 3:25
  win amounts, you know, less than 1,000,000.
• 3:28
  So you can have a small amount and you can have a good time
• 3:31
  without being the being the millionaire.
• 3:33
  So I think it's generally a good show, entertaining show.
• 3:38
  Of course with the now with the the second brilliant presenter
• 3:43
  they've had in the British version.
• 3:45
  We're obviously big fans of both of them.
• 3:47
  Jeremy Clarkson, yes. Jeremy Clarkson.
• 3:49
  I mean, what other words would you use?
• 3:51
  What more could you say? Just the the the sheer pleasure
• 3:54
  of meeting him? Well, look, let me let me just
• 3:56
  say that Roman Debowski has said that he does quizzing as a
• 4:01
  hobby. So naturally, you know, he's
• 4:03
  very well read. He's got a.
• 4:05
  Wide. Range of topics to his
• 4:08
  fingertips and to his tongue. But he's planning on buying a
• 4:11
  new house, and his prize money will also enable him to travel,
• 4:15
  including trips to New Zealand and South America.
• 4:18
  Well, good luck to that. But here's the thing, Mr. Pete,
• 4:22
  he went all the way through to the 15th question.
• 4:25
  I'm going to tell you what the question is because I think just
• 4:28
  listeners, I don't think Mr. Pete has seen the show.
• 4:31
  And so hopefully this in the interest and integrity of the
• 4:34
  show. He doesn't know the answers, but
• 4:37
  I'm going to as as was the the Roman himself got.
• 4:42
  So Mr. Pete, yes, or the benefit of who wants to be yes, Jeremy,
• 4:48
  a penniless presenter. Here is your question.
• 4:53
  Used since 1876, which trademark logo is described in the James
• 4:59
  Joyce novel Ulysses and depicted in the works by Manet and
• 5:04
  Picasso? I'll say it again.
• 5:07
  Used since 1876, which trademark logo is described in the James
• 5:14
  Joyce novel Ulysses and is also depicted in the works by Manet
• 5:19
  and Picasso? I'm going to give you 4 options.
• 5:23
  The first option, do I have a lifeline?
• 5:26
  No, and that is the options are Bass Ale, the Famous Grouse,
• 5:34
  Coca-Cola or Stella Artois. So you have to give your
• 5:40
  options. So let's see whether you can get
• 5:42
  it right. Of those four, one of them is
• 5:45
  correct. And which one is it that appears
• 5:47
  in the James Joyce novel and appears in a Manet and a Picasso
• 5:51
  painting? Right.
• 5:54
  Can you just quickly remind me of them again?
• 5:56
  Just go through. Bass Ale, the famous.
• 5:58
  Grouse. Coca-Cola.
• 6:01
  Stella Artois. OK, I'm going to say there you
• 6:04
  go. Tension.
• 6:06
  Right, yes, we need the music play person we put on the post.
• 6:11
  I'm going to say famous Grouse. Well, I'm afraid yes, you're
• 6:17
  wrong. Yes, it was Bass Ale, Yes.
• 6:20
  So if you actually look, if you say, for example, look at one of
• 6:24
  the Manet paintings, you'll see beer bottles and right in the
• 6:27
  corner you'll see the triangle, the Bass Ale triangle.
• 6:31
  It does appear there. It also is mentioned in Ulysses.
• 6:35
  It is also depicted by Picasso, Yes.
• 6:38
  So it's interesting, isn't it? He was given four options.
• 6:40
  He went for it and he got it. Even though my even though my
• 6:45
  knowledge of art and the novel Ulysses is vast and and
• 6:51
  exhaustive, I just didn't know that it's.
• 6:54
  Just well, there we go. What a surprise.
• 6:57
  With my level of. Art You.
• 6:59
  Would have thought I would have gone.
• 7:02
  Yes, of course. Obviously if if we would have
• 7:05
  had a question on the Mark and Pete show, you would still would
• 7:08
  have got it wrong, but nevertheless I.
• 7:09
  Have no idea what's happening. But the fact is, isn't it?
• 7:13
  There's a lot of luck involved. But I, I would say that I'm
• 7:17
  going to say, I actually think that Who Wants to be a
• 7:20
  millionaire is it's one of those formats that can go on forever.
• 7:24
  Why not? So I, I would certainly invite
• 7:28
  the, the public to say if you were actually looking to ask any
• 7:33
  questions on who wants to be a millionaire, well, why not pitch
• 7:37
  and pose one to Mr. Pete? Because I'm sure that he would
• 7:41
  certainly like to be a millionaire.
• 7:45
  Oh man.
