Millionaire Double or Quits

Things I learnt from playing this on an INDE yesterday:
It doesn't feel quite the same when the top prize is a £5.
The audience know fuck all.
'Dawn' knows fuck all.
'Luke' (a computer games specialist, apparently) knows fuck all about computer games.
I do like some of the realism aspects though, in that when you use either 'Ask the Audience' or 'Phone a Friend' they can't answer the spoilers either. They're very good on Questions 1 and 2 though.
On a more positive note, I did find one of my favourite ever questions which referred to 'Which of these was a Liverpool 'no-nonsense' defender of the early 1970's'
The answer, of course, was Tommy Lloyd, which is a liitle known fact referencing the early 1970's experiments by the infamous Liverpool 'Back Room' staff to splice footballers together in a dressing room transmogrifier. Tommy Lloyd being one of their finer creations after Tommy Smith and Larry Lloyd were fused under the Anfield stairs. Their finest moments were undoubedtly the deadly midfield attacking duo of Kenny Keegan and Kevin Dalglish however.
The FA came down hard on Paisley after he attempted to get some use out of Phil 'Ginger Afro' Boersma by shoving him in the machine with legendary Nottm Forest scout Peter Taylor when Forest were playing at Anfield. The resulting hybrid was a woefully fat useless midfielder who ironically went on the become a legendary darts champion and arguably the greatest sportsman of the last 20 years.
On the other hand, it could have just been a fuckwit question writer as usual.......
