I got in the hot seat last October and got to the 1,000,000 point question (after guessing the 500,000 point question) and got it wrong! Who invented the Band-Aid (plaster) whilst working for Johnson and Johnson? I won a baseball cap, polo shirt and 10 pins. I would have won a Cruise for 4, a leather jacket and 5 more pins if I'd known the answer! I'd answered (completely guessed!) the fastest finger question about putting the Brady Kids in age order to get into the hot seat.
It was a surreal experiance. I was very, very nervous for the first few questions and couldn't look at myself on the big screen. But once I'd won something and hadn't made a fool of myself I was OK, although my wife said that when I got to the 1,000,000 question my voice tremored and leg was shaking! When we were sat outside after the show, we both kept saying 'Did that really just happen!'
I did get on the leader board a couple of times in February and I'll be having another go in September.
