A CONTESTANT on this weekend’s Who Wants To Be A Millionaire will be left calling on Jeremy Clarkson for his help with a rather tricky question.
Tonight, another three contestants will be taking to the hot seat to see if they have what it takes to bring home the £1million.
One of those will be Matthew Trantor who is hoping that he could win big and take home all the money.
However, The Sun can reveal that as the game goes on, Matthew will be left struggling to arrive on an answer for a tough geography question.
Whilst he seems confident and managed to answer his first few questions with ease, a question about the historic regions of France will throw him off course.
Jeremy asked Matthew the following question: “Dijon is the capital of which historic French region.”
The former Top Gear host then offered up “Normandy, Brittany, Limousin and Burgundy,” as options but it was clear that Matthew wasn’t feeling too confident instantly.
Pulling a number of faces to show his confusion, he then softly said to Jezza: “I don’t know the answer to this.”
As Matthew spoke through some of the answers, he felt as though Brittany and Normandy were not correct but confessed he wasn’t too sure on Burgundy.
He then said: “I have a phone-a-friend that may know this but I also think you [to Jeremy] have spent quite a lot of time in France. So I’d like to ask you.”
As it turned to Jeremy, he responded: “Okay, so here’s what I think, my fastest ever speeding ticket I got in Dijon.
“I was going so fast that I can’t remember where it is!”
With Jeremy unable to help Matthew out further, will he be forced to take a gamble or call upon another lifeline to get him to the correct answer.
In order to progress to the next round, Matthew will have to pluck out the correct answer of Burgundy in order to secure more cash.
But will he get there or will he fall after a smooth-sailing round?
Hardest Quiz Show Questions
Would you know the answers to some of quizzing TV’s hardest questions
- Who Wants To Be A Millionaire – Earlier this year, fans were left outraged after what they described as the “worst” question in the show’s history. Host Jeremy Clarkson asked: “From the 2000 awards ceremony onwards, the Best Actress Oscar has never been won by a woman whose surname begins with which one of these letters?” The multiple choice answers were between G, K, M and W. In the end, and with the £32,000 safe, player Glen had to make a guess and went for G. It turned out to be correct as Nicole Kidman, Frances McDormand and Kate Winslet are among the stars who have won the Best Actress gong since 2000.
- The 1% Club – Viewers of Lee Mack’s popular ITV show were left dumbfounded by a question that also left the players perplexed. The query went as follows: “Edna’s birthday is on the 6th of April and Jen’s birthday falls on the 15th of October, therefore Amir’s birthday must be the ‘X’ of January.” It turns out the conundrum links the numbers with its position in the sentence, so 6th is the sixth word and 15th is the fifteenth word. Therefore, Amir’s birthday is January 24th, corresponding to the 24th word in the sentence.
- The Chase – The ITV daytime favourite left fans scratching their heads when it threw up one of the most bizarre questions to ever grace the programme. One of the questions asked the player: “Someone with a nightshade intolerance should avoid eating what?” The options were – sweetcorn, potatoes, carrots – with Steve selecting sweetcorn but the correct answer was potatoes.
