‘Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?’ Contestant Loses £93K After Asking The (Clueless) Audience

Oli was asked which novel begins with the words: “3 May. Bistritz. Left Munich at 8:35PM.”

The options were ‘Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy’, ‘Dracula’, ‘Heart of Darkness’ and ‘Frankenstein’.

Any idea? Us neither, nor Oli for that matter.

Unsure of the answer, Oli opted to use the 50/50 option, which reduced his choice to ‘Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy’ and ‘Dracula’.

Host Jeremy Clarkson then told him: “If you get it right you’ve got a quarter of a million and you’re two questions from the big one.”

Still unsure, Oli decided to use his last remaining life line and asked the audience, saying he believed many of them would have read at least one of the books.

Oh Oli, if only they had.
