00:00:01,989 --> 00:00:04,489

00:00:08,765 --> 00:00:11,265
_
4
00:00:12,343 --> 00:00:13,343
Hello.
5
00:00:13,733 --> 00:00:14,733
Oh!
6
00:00:16,162 --> 00:00:17,162
Hello.
7
00:00:17,588 --> 00:00:19,212
Hi, I'm here to take the test.
8
00:00:19,393 --> 00:00:21,082
- You want to take the Mensa test?
- Yes.
9
00:00:21,436 --> 00:00:22,516
You?
10
00:00:23,623 --> 00:00:26,136
Me, yes. Anyone can, can't they?
11
00:00:26,350 --> 00:00:27,812
£40, please.
12
00:00:29,750 --> 00:00:31,061
To be accepted into Mensa,
13
00:00:31,097 --> 00:00:34,504
you have to qualify in the top
two percentile of IQ in the country.
14
00:00:35,090 --> 00:00:37,475
Starts in five minutes.
15
00:00:37,510 --> 00:00:40,510
Fill in this form and
head through there.
16
00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:46,980
HE CLEARS HIS THROAT
17
00:00:59,986 --> 00:01:02,275
After the Major's performance
that second night,
18
00:01:02,311 --> 00:01:05,127
you told police
you heard the Ingrams arguing.
19
00:01:05,163 --> 00:01:07,543
Yes. I remember it very clearly.
20
00:01:07,579 --> 00:01:09,887
After all, it was so, like, odd.
21
00:01:10,305 --> 00:01:13,270
I mean, you'd be happy, wouldn't you,
22
00:01:13,393 --> 00:01:14,976
if you'd just become millionaires?
23
00:01:15,030 --> 00:01:18,612
No, I'm sorry, but it's just
so obvious, the signals!
24
00:01:18,648 --> 00:01:21,180
- We'll talk later!
- Well, that's what I heard.
25
00:01:21,423 --> 00:01:23,388
I reckon, I know you haven't asked,
26
00:01:23,424 --> 00:01:28,229
but I reckon the plan was for him
to stop a few questions earlier.
27
00:01:28,294 --> 00:01:31,419
So there wouldn't be
so much, um, attention.
28
00:01:31,696 --> 00:01:33,607
But he couldn't help himself.
29
00:01:33,643 --> 00:01:35,741
And she might have been annoyed at him.
30
00:01:35,777 --> 00:01:39,453
Because... well, look where we are.
31
00:01:41,367 --> 00:01:44,088
The memory's a funny thing, isn't it?
32
00:01:44,570 --> 00:01:46,924
An incredible feat of engineering.
33
00:01:47,014 --> 00:01:49,852
It sits inside the medial temporal lobe.
34
00:01:49,888 --> 00:01:53,224
And its most impressive function
is its filing system.
35
00:01:53,510 --> 00:01:55,997
It's better than anything
a super computer could do.
36
00:01:56,424 --> 00:01:58,235
Another of my favourite facts,
37
00:01:58,271 --> 00:02:00,867
given that that's what this trial
is all about,
38
00:02:01,016 --> 00:02:03,952
right answers, wrong answers.
39
00:02:04,038 --> 00:02:05,288
Knowledge.
40
00:02:05,610 --> 00:02:10,610
Truth is that when we're
remembering something...
41
00:02:12,131 --> 00:02:14,816
...we're not actually
recalling the original event.
42
00:02:16,047 --> 00:02:20,475
What we're doing is remembering
the last time we remembered it.
43
00:02:21,940 --> 00:02:25,475
So we are constantly wiping our pasts
44
00:02:25,510 --> 00:02:27,515
and editing together a new one.
45
00:02:28,115 --> 00:02:32,005
One that can make sense to us now,
in the present.
46
00:02:33,197 --> 00:02:37,097
All memories are therefore,
by definition...
47
00:02:38,223 --> 00:02:39,223
...a lie.
48
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:42,591
They change. We change them.
49
00:02:42,627 --> 00:02:46,214
Which isn't a crime, a conspiracy.
Just...
50
00:02:47,060 --> 00:02:48,282
...human nature.
51
00:02:49,306 --> 00:02:51,121
We can project guilt, say,
52
00:02:51,961 --> 00:02:56,179
back onto an event that was
in fact perfectly innocent.
53
00:02:56,350 --> 00:02:59,475
I'm sorry, but it's really bad.
The signal's, um...
54
00:02:59,510 --> 00:03:00,677
We'll talk later!
55
00:03:01,104 --> 00:03:04,389
I am asking you all to try and resist
56
00:03:04,699 --> 00:03:06,903
a more entertaining falsehood
57
00:03:07,076 --> 00:03:10,475
in favour of a less extraordinary truth.
58
00:03:11,017 --> 00:03:15,017
That Major Ingram simply knew
the answers to those questions.
59
00:03:17,807 --> 00:03:19,982
And that's why he got them right.
60
00:03:24,497 --> 00:03:27,124
- _
- OK, let's go.
61
00:03:28,510 --> 00:03:29,542
Diana?
62
00:03:38,567 --> 00:03:41,475
We should tell you, we have taken in
two other parties for questioning.
63
00:03:41,510 --> 00:03:42,881
Your brother, Mrs Ingram,
64
00:03:42,917 --> 00:03:44,475
and another contestant in the studio.
65
00:03:44,510 --> 00:03:46,401
Another conte...? Why? Who?
66
00:03:46,955 --> 00:03:50,214
Here's a transcript of your
appearance, provided by Celador.
67
00:03:50,510 --> 00:03:53,475
It shows, quite clearly,
moments where a cough can be heard,
68
00:03:53,510 --> 00:03:56,228
and then you, Charles,
choosing a different answer.
69
00:03:56,922 --> 00:03:58,475
Why did you change your mind so often?
70
00:03:58,510 --> 00:03:59,475
HE GUFFAWS
71
00:03:59,510 --> 00:04:02,475
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm ju...
72
00:04:02,768 --> 00:04:05,174
I'm just sort of hovering
above all this looking down,
73
00:04:05,210 --> 00:04:08,626
seeing how absurd it all is.
It's a game show.
74
00:04:08,662 --> 00:04:12,079
This isn't a laughing matter,
Major Ingram, it's a million pounds.
75
00:04:12,115 --> 00:04:13,515
- Your change of answer?
- Have you ever seen the show?
76
00:04:13,550 --> 00:04:16,675
That's what makes the show, that's
what the audience want to watch,
77
00:04:16,710 --> 00:04:19,174
that's what the producers want.
It's the... the, um...
78
00:04:19,362 --> 00:04:21,327
- the... the... the...
- Tension.
79
00:04:21,363 --> 00:04:23,256
...drama. The tension. Exactly.
80
00:04:23,292 --> 00:04:24,330
Mrs Ingram.
81
00:04:24,825 --> 00:04:27,750
The book you're writing with Adrian
details ways of,
82
00:04:27,786 --> 00:04:31,479
at the very least, bending the rules
or in some cases circumventing...
83
00:04:31,515 --> 00:04:33,300
Improving your chances, that's all.
84
00:04:33,336 --> 00:04:35,301
I have to say,
and please don't take offence,
85
00:04:35,564 --> 00:04:37,540
it wasn't the most gripping
read of my life.
86
00:04:38,220 --> 00:04:39,850
Well, it's not for people who...
87
00:04:40,744 --> 00:04:42,819
Do you know, I do take
some offence, actually.
88
00:04:44,774 --> 00:04:47,129
Presumably you've benefitted
from this manual, Charles?
89
00:04:48,190 --> 00:04:49,475
I haven't, I haven't read...
90
00:04:49,510 --> 00:04:51,510
I haven't actually got through it yet.
91
00:04:56,127 --> 00:04:57,587
Do you know who Tecwen Whittock is?
92
00:04:59,158 --> 00:05:00,158
No.
93
00:05:00,257 --> 00:05:02,232
You have no idea
your wife telephoned this man
94
00:05:02,268 --> 00:05:03,539
on several occasions,
95
00:05:03,781 --> 00:05:04,774
including the night before
96
00:05:04,810 --> 00:05:06,829
and the morning of your
second appearance on the show,
97
00:05:06,865 --> 00:05:08,582
at which he was also present?
98
00:05:08,907 --> 00:05:11,215
He's just a man, a fan of the show.
99
00:05:11,251 --> 00:05:13,802
Who just happened to be
a Fastest Finger First contestant
100
00:05:13,838 --> 00:05:15,175
on the same show?
101
00:05:15,510 --> 00:05:16,995
A show where coughing was heard
102
00:05:17,030 --> 00:05:19,835
on occasions that correlate
with moments that you, Charles,
103
00:05:19,870 --> 00:05:21,036
changed your mind?
104
00:05:23,013 --> 00:05:24,475
How long has this relationship with...
105
00:05:24,510 --> 00:05:26,828
It's not a relationship! It was...
106
00:05:27,990 --> 00:05:30,310
...contact with someone who under...
107
00:05:31,210 --> 00:05:33,742
Who was just a fan of the show.
108
00:05:34,562 --> 00:05:37,475
And I know you might think
that's stupid or boring or silly,
109
00:05:37,655 --> 00:05:40,352
but I don't care.
It's not bloody illegal, is it?
110
00:05:40,388 --> 00:05:41,388
We just...
111
00:05:42,049 --> 00:05:46,202
We just liked something
a lot for a bit. That's all.
112
00:05:56,143 --> 00:05:57,475
Oh, my God.
113
00:05:57,510 --> 00:05:58,989
PRESS CLAMOUR
114
00:06:00,705 --> 00:06:02,884
Can you park as close as you can,
please?
115
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:04,094
Diana.
116
00:06:05,510 --> 00:06:07,275
- Were you cheating?
- Did you cheat?
117
00:06:08,295 --> 00:06:10,510
Diana? Di...
118
00:06:14,803 --> 00:06:16,475
Can you step away
from the house, please?
119
00:06:16,510 --> 00:06:18,995
I'm not... I'm not sure where
the law is on this, but I don't...
120
00:06:19,030 --> 00:06:20,475
Cheat! Cheat!
121
00:06:20,510 --> 00:06:22,030
Get away from the house, please.
122
00:06:29,952 --> 00:06:33,475
How they even got here,
I mean, who told them?
123
00:06:33,510 --> 00:06:35,475
It's a nightmare.
This is a nightmare, isn't it?
124
00:06:35,510 --> 00:06:38,100
I mean, they... They actually think
we did it, don't they?
125
00:06:38,602 --> 00:06:41,633
They're looking at all the pieces
and putting them together like a...
126
00:06:42,510 --> 00:06:45,835
You know, like that man that you...
you called, right?
127
00:06:45,871 --> 00:06:48,832
On your phone. Oh, my God,
on the night of the show!
128
00:06:48,868 --> 00:06:49,997
I mean, they have that on record.
129
00:06:50,033 --> 00:06:52,475
I don't "know him" know him, Charles.
130
00:06:52,738 --> 00:06:54,475
What they were suggesting, implying.
131
00:06:54,510 --> 00:06:57,155
I've never spent any actual
time with him. Adrian did.
132
00:06:57,190 --> 00:06:59,968
Oh, Adrian! Of course!
It's Adrian, always!
133
00:07:00,004 --> 00:07:02,475
You follow the smoke and
you follow the sound of screams
134
00:07:02,510 --> 00:07:04,475
and there he is, and there you are,
in your little... little...
135
00:07:04,510 --> 00:07:06,366
- What? What?
- ...family thing.
136
00:07:06,402 --> 00:07:08,186
And I didn't even want to
go on the bloody show!
137
00:07:08,275 --> 00:07:10,553
I just got... sucked into it.
138
00:07:10,769 --> 00:07:12,208
Why didn't you tell me you were...
139
00:07:13,139 --> 00:07:14,740
having conversations with him?
140
00:07:14,776 --> 00:07:16,475
I thought you were chatting
with him. I thought it was just...
141
00:07:16,510 --> 00:07:19,136
It was just a phone call. They don't
know what we were talking about.
142
00:07:19,172 --> 00:07:20,475
It could have been anything.
143
00:07:20,510 --> 00:07:24,475
All right, let's try this, OK?
I'm the prosecuting lawyer, right?
144
00:07:24,510 --> 00:07:28,053
And I'm asking you,
"Mrs Ingram, this man,
145
00:07:28,089 --> 00:07:30,315
"who your husband had barely any idea
146
00:07:30,350 --> 00:07:32,179
"of the extent of the contact
you had with him,
147
00:07:32,215 --> 00:07:33,475
"what did you speak about that night?"
148
00:07:33,510 --> 00:07:36,475
I'd just say that we were
both in groups of fans,
149
00:07:36,511 --> 00:07:38,942
and he was on the show the next day,
so why wouldn't I call him?
150
00:07:38,978 --> 00:07:42,155
Because it's about perception, Diana.
151
00:07:42,190 --> 00:07:44,284
- It's about how it looks.
- And how does it look?
152
00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:46,354
What are you saying,
and why are you saying it like that?
153
00:07:46,390 --> 00:07:48,347
Because I'm angry! I'm angry!
154
00:07:49,772 --> 00:07:52,390
And not saying it, it's the
bloody policeman who's saying it.
155
00:07:53,201 --> 00:07:54,723
Saying it right...
156
00:07:55,796 --> 00:07:57,510
Saying it right in front of me.
157
00:07:59,510 --> 00:08:00,674
And in front of the other...
158
00:08:02,410 --> 00:08:04,275
...in front of the
other policeman. My...
159
00:08:05,510 --> 00:08:06,870
That my wife...
160
00:08:09,705 --> 00:08:12,861
I mean, have you...
Do you have any idea how that feels?
161
00:08:13,968 --> 00:08:16,270
What they were implying and suggesting?
162
00:08:16,306 --> 00:08:18,210
Are you asking me if I...?
163
00:08:18,976 --> 00:08:20,824
Yeah, why not?
I mean, you love questions.
164
00:08:23,166 --> 00:08:24,486
Well, there are some things...
165
00:08:26,510 --> 00:08:29,077
There are some questions
you should just know the answer to.
166
00:08:33,282 --> 00:08:36,523
- Major Ingram, Mrs Ingram.
- Oh... How did you guess?
167
00:08:36,843 --> 00:08:40,109
Oh, I don't need to guess,
your faces are in all the papers.
168
00:08:40,338 --> 00:08:41,599
Come in. Come in.
169
00:08:42,134 --> 00:08:46,591
Now, do you want a tea, coffee? Vodka?
170
00:08:46,627 --> 00:08:48,592
- THEY CHUCKLE
- I was kidding.
171
00:08:48,978 --> 00:08:51,978
Unless of course you do,
in which case, I wouldn't judge.
172
00:08:52,870 --> 00:08:58,715
Um, you were recommended to us
by Philip Jones in Reading.
173
00:08:58,751 --> 00:09:00,859
But we... we never thought
a high-profile barrister
174
00:09:00,895 --> 00:09:04,058
would touch our case with a barge
pole, because... Well, given that...
175
00:09:04,258 --> 00:09:06,475
Oh, given that your trial's
already begun in the papers.
176
00:09:06,510 --> 00:09:08,409
- Yeah.
- And the press.
177
00:09:09,321 --> 00:09:11,475
Yes, well, if I represent you,
178
00:09:11,510 --> 00:09:14,223
we're gonna have to fight this
sort of thing every step of the way.
179
00:09:14,543 --> 00:09:17,609
- It's new state of play.
- What's the new state of play?
180
00:09:18,016 --> 00:09:19,874
Justice as entertainment.
181
00:09:20,510 --> 00:09:22,995
How the police
communicate with the press.
182
00:09:23,030 --> 00:09:25,475
How the press
communicate with the police.
183
00:09:26,015 --> 00:09:28,671
I don't suppose you think
it was a coincidence
184
00:09:28,707 --> 00:09:31,968
that reporters were there
only minutes after you were charged?
185
00:09:32,004 --> 00:09:34,752
Following your, er,
did I get this right?
186
00:09:34,896 --> 00:09:37,197
The "dawn raid" on your property?
187
00:09:38,001 --> 00:09:39,175
It's a form of arrest
188
00:09:39,211 --> 00:09:43,122
that's normally associated
with murderers and paedophiles.
189
00:09:43,158 --> 00:09:45,475
The narrative of your guilt
is already being written
190
00:09:45,510 --> 00:09:47,676
by forces far beyond your control.
191
00:09:47,712 --> 00:09:50,897
Now, I would be happy
to represent you if you want,
192
00:09:50,933 --> 00:09:53,771
because, and forgive the presumption,
193
00:09:53,807 --> 00:09:58,062
I have already started looking
into your case in some detail and...
194
00:09:59,947 --> 00:10:02,205
...Major Ingram, Mrs Ingram...
195
00:10:03,081 --> 00:10:05,949
I think something here really stinks.
196
00:10:14,110 --> 00:10:19,400
Secrets To Help You Win
At Millionaire, by Diana Ingram.
197
00:10:20,610 --> 00:10:23,698
The things we missed.
We pull on this one tiny thread
198
00:10:23,734 --> 00:10:26,734
and what unravels
is a whole bloody world of...
199
00:10:27,710 --> 00:10:31,330
- God, we were stupid.
- Not stupid, trusting. That's all.
200
00:10:31,366 --> 00:10:34,675
Liddiment says he never wants to see
another "effing middle-class wanker"
201
00:10:34,710 --> 00:10:36,515
on the show ever again.
202
00:10:36,946 --> 00:10:37,941
What are they doing?
203
00:10:37,977 --> 00:10:43,675
Parents verses kids at physical
and mental agility games.
204
00:10:43,710 --> 00:10:45,286
That's the worst idea I've ever heard.
205
00:10:45,322 --> 00:10:46,421
It's new ideas.
206
00:10:46,820 --> 00:10:48,365
Well, Millionaire won't last forever.
207
00:10:48,401 --> 00:10:51,176
Well, we're on the front page
of every newspaper in the world.
208
00:10:51,212 --> 00:10:52,225
It might.
209
00:10:52,573 --> 00:10:54,675
An Army Major, his wife,
and a college lecturer
210
00:10:54,710 --> 00:10:55,869
have gone on trial,
211
00:10:55,905 --> 00:10:57,316
- NEWS REPORTS BEGIN TO OVERLAP
- accused of trying to cheat
212
00:10:57,352 --> 00:10:59,280
on the game show
Who Wants To Be A Millionnaire...
213
00:11:01,710 --> 00:11:04,675
The production staff
became suspicious after they noticed
214
00:11:04,710 --> 00:11:07,675
his answers appeared to follow
coughs from another contestant.
215
00:11:07,710 --> 00:11:08,910
PRESS CLAMOUR
216
00:11:19,430 --> 00:11:23,071
Oh, hello. I believe
we're charged with co-conspiracy.
217
00:11:24,610 --> 00:11:27,525
It's nice to meet you both... at last.
218
00:11:33,441 --> 00:11:35,931
- Snacks? Really?
- Yeah, why not?
219
00:11:36,438 --> 00:11:39,117
God, I love a good ITV courtroom drama.
220
00:11:40,036 --> 00:11:41,108
Where's Paul?
221
00:11:41,507 --> 00:11:46,289
So, 19 coughs that coincide
with the Major changing his mind
222
00:11:46,325 --> 00:11:47,960
or deciding to answer.
223
00:11:47,996 --> 00:11:51,450
All picked up by your mics,
and coming from... where?
224
00:11:51,486 --> 00:11:54,553
Er, they were coming from
the Fastest Finger seats.
225
00:11:54,589 --> 00:11:56,063
Where Mr Whittock was sat.
226
00:11:56,099 --> 00:11:59,013
The man whom Diana Ingram spoke to
the previous evening.
227
00:11:59,392 --> 00:12:02,815
Paying particular attention now
to cough number 14, then.
228
00:12:03,232 --> 00:12:07,110
"Who had a hit UK album with
Born To Do It, released in 2000?
229
00:12:07,146 --> 00:12:10,376
"Coldplay. Toploader. A1. Craig David".
230
00:12:10,710 --> 00:12:13,675
In case you don't know, I certainly
didn't, the answer's Craig David.
231
00:12:13,797 --> 00:12:14,918
Ingram:
232
00:12:15,655 --> 00:12:17,140
"I think it's A1..."
233
00:12:17,388 --> 00:12:18,797
But it could be Toploader.
234
00:12:18,833 --> 00:12:21,204
Which is also something
to do with a barrel on a rifle.
235
00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:22,675
LAUGHTER
236
00:12:23,466 --> 00:12:26,590
"I've never heard of Craig David."
237
00:12:28,014 --> 00:12:31,195
And take us through
what we can see here.
238
00:12:31,230 --> 00:12:35,078
Yeah, she appears to be looking over
to the Fastest Finger First seat
239
00:12:35,114 --> 00:12:36,437
where Mr Whittock is.
240
00:12:38,076 --> 00:12:43,710
Diana Ingram, here. Looking over
at Tecwen Whittock, here.
241
00:12:45,356 --> 00:12:48,058
Any coughing at this point?
242
00:12:48,094 --> 00:12:50,853
No, that's, that's part
of the problem, see,
243
00:12:50,889 --> 00:12:54,736
Mr Whittock, or whoever
has been coughing,
244
00:12:54,947 --> 00:12:56,675
isn't coughing at this point.
245
00:12:56,710 --> 00:13:00,875
Perhaps, given pop culture tends not
to be a strongest of category for,
246
00:13:00,911 --> 00:13:06,024
um, these kinds of people, er,
maybe he doesn't know the answer.
247
00:13:06,060 --> 00:13:10,335
Meanwhile, Ingram is all set
to plump for the wrong answer.
248
00:13:11,199 --> 00:13:12,675
I think I'm gonna go with A1.
249
00:13:13,407 --> 00:13:14,675
And pause.
250
00:13:14,942 --> 00:13:17,675
Mrs Ingram looks up in that direction
251
00:13:17,710 --> 00:13:19,323
several times at this point.
252
00:13:19,359 --> 00:13:20,912
What's up there?
253
00:13:20,948 --> 00:13:23,675
So we have these monitors
facing the audience,
254
00:13:23,710 --> 00:13:25,890
so they can watch
what the cameras are recording.
255
00:13:25,926 --> 00:13:29,675
Which means presumably
those monitors occasionally display
256
00:13:29,710 --> 00:13:33,675
Mrs Ingram being filmed? She can
see when she herself is on camera?
257
00:13:33,710 --> 00:13:37,181
Yes. Although that's only when the
mixer cuts to her for the monitors.
258
00:13:37,217 --> 00:13:40,746
She's always being filmed. Hence
why we have this footage of her.
259
00:13:40,782 --> 00:13:42,164
Ah, so,
260
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:45,502
would someone not au fait with the
inner workings of television editing
261
00:13:45,538 --> 00:13:49,255
perhaps assume that when they are
not on the monitors above them,
262
00:13:49,291 --> 00:13:50,453
they are not being filmed?
263
00:13:50,611 --> 00:13:52,463
After all, here we have Diana Ingram,
264
00:13:52,499 --> 00:13:54,675
her husband hovering
over the wrong answer,
265
00:13:54,710 --> 00:13:56,675
looking at Tecwen Whittock,
266
00:13:56,710 --> 00:13:58,831
who isn't coughing
on the correct answer,
267
00:13:58,867 --> 00:14:01,515
checking the monitors
to see if she is being filmed,
268
00:14:01,550 --> 00:14:03,230
before this happens.
269
00:14:04,592 --> 00:14:05,803
SHE COUGHS
270
00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:07,675
LAUGHTER IN THE COURTROOM
271
00:14:08,187 --> 00:14:11,981
Now, is this the first and only
time that Diana Ingram coughed?
272
00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:13,045
Yes.
273
00:14:13,081 --> 00:14:16,360
At a moment when the phantom cougher
is no longer "helping".
274
00:14:16,477 --> 00:14:21,371
Regardless, moments later,
the Major reverses his position.
275
00:14:21,710 --> 00:14:24,877
You know, when I'm at home,
um, and I'm practising,
276
00:14:24,913 --> 00:14:29,195
you know, I guess...
I guess wrong 80% of the time.
277
00:14:29,230 --> 00:14:30,823
- ON-SCREEN LAUGHTER
- So...
278
00:14:31,710 --> 00:14:33,436
I think I'm gonna go with Craig David.
279
00:14:33,805 --> 00:14:35,515
LAUGHTER IN COURTROOM
280
00:14:35,704 --> 00:14:38,528
And if that wasn't exactly subtle,
watch this.
281
00:14:38,794 --> 00:14:40,508
The piece de resistance!
282
00:14:40,544 --> 00:14:43,309
For £500,000...
283
00:14:43,345 --> 00:14:47,644
"Baron Haussmann is best known
for his planning of which city?
284
00:14:49,177 --> 00:14:50,210
I think it's Berlin.
285
00:14:50,246 --> 00:14:51,849
ON-SCREEN COUGH THAT RESEMBLES "NO"
286
00:14:52,087 --> 00:14:53,675
LAUGHTER IN COURTROOM
287
00:14:53,809 --> 00:14:56,367
Your interpretation of that, Mr Duff?
288
00:14:56,445 --> 00:14:58,035
There is no interpretation.
289
00:14:58,359 --> 00:15:00,281
Someone says "no" on the wrong answer.
290
00:15:00,369 --> 00:15:05,148
Thank you. Mrs Woodley will now ask
you some questions for the defence.
291
00:15:05,184 --> 00:15:07,195
- Hello, Kevin.
- Hi.
292
00:15:07,666 --> 00:15:09,295
That tape we were watching.
293
00:15:10,323 --> 00:15:12,680
It was given the name Tape G?
294
00:15:13,291 --> 00:15:17,115
So presumably there were
other tapes, earlier tapes.
295
00:15:17,271 --> 00:15:21,522
A, B, C, D, E, F...?
296
00:15:21,632 --> 00:15:25,080
Er, yeah, sure, as we kept finding
new evidence with the police.
297
00:15:25,116 --> 00:15:28,867
So help us understand
what we were watching.
298
00:15:30,498 --> 00:15:33,592
That was edited together by yourself?
299
00:15:33,795 --> 00:15:36,428
The plaintiffs. Celador.
300
00:15:36,710 --> 00:15:39,875
Not the police, not an independent body?
301
00:15:40,401 --> 00:15:43,675
Well, we've had to find a way
to show the police,
302
00:15:43,710 --> 00:15:46,675
and then you, what, you know...
what happened.
303
00:15:47,905 --> 00:15:49,304
Thank you, Mr Duff.
304
00:15:50,501 --> 00:15:51,675
Mr Whitehurst.
305
00:15:51,710 --> 00:15:55,076
You were a Fastest Finger First
contestant on the Major's show.
306
00:15:55,112 --> 00:15:58,494
And yet you were the only one who
didn't stand to applaud when he won.
307
00:15:58,530 --> 00:15:59,525
Why?
308
00:15:59,561 --> 00:16:04,430
I'd spotted what was going on.
I knew all of the answers, you see.
309
00:16:04,975 --> 00:16:09,376
And on the millionaire question,
and as soon as Ingram said "googol",
310
00:16:09,412 --> 00:16:11,300
I knew it was "googol",
311
00:16:11,336 --> 00:16:15,675
I had Whittock in my eye and I said,
"Don't you dare," and he did.
312
00:16:16,061 --> 00:16:17,026
He coughed.
313
00:16:17,062 --> 00:16:18,355
HE COUGHS
314
00:16:18,521 --> 00:16:20,959
Plain as day. No question.
315
00:16:22,277 --> 00:16:23,675
Mr Whitehurst.
316
00:16:24,169 --> 00:16:26,195
You didn't formally
raise your suspicions
317
00:16:26,230 --> 00:16:29,015
until after you'd read the story
in the press.
318
00:16:29,051 --> 00:16:30,675
And then when you wrote
to the producers,
319
00:16:30,710 --> 00:16:33,904
but received no reply,
you went to the press yourself.
320
00:16:33,990 --> 00:16:36,303
I thought it... important.
321
00:16:36,910 --> 00:16:39,675
If I was the only one who'd spotted
Mr Whittock coughing.
322
00:16:39,881 --> 00:16:42,846
You said it was as plain as day,
no question.
323
00:16:42,979 --> 00:16:46,198
But in your original statement you said,
324
00:16:46,234 --> 00:16:47,675
"It is possible that what I saw
325
00:16:47,710 --> 00:16:50,515
"was just an amazing set
of coincidences,"
326
00:16:50,550 --> 00:16:52,675
and that, "The possibility remains
327
00:16:52,710 --> 00:16:55,954
"that I witnessed no criminal behaviour"
328
00:16:55,990 --> 00:17:00,304
What changed since then to make you
so absolutely certain here today?
329
00:17:00,340 --> 00:17:03,561
Watch the tape! I'm sat not clapping.
330
00:17:03,597 --> 00:17:05,280
Why, if I didn't know?
331
00:17:05,316 --> 00:17:09,556
Because Fastest Finger First contestants
share a grievance, don't they,
332
00:17:09,736 --> 00:17:11,675
quite often, in the bar after the show?
333
00:17:11,710 --> 00:17:15,002
About the behaviour of a certain
kind of contestant in the chair?
334
00:17:15,038 --> 00:17:17,003
- What do you mean, sorry?
- Talkers.
335
00:17:17,222 --> 00:17:19,888
People who take forever
to answer a question.
336
00:17:19,924 --> 00:17:23,342
Thereby denying you the chance
of getting into the seat yourself?
337
00:17:23,490 --> 00:17:24,675
Might that not have created
338
00:17:24,710 --> 00:17:27,022
a certain kind of arms-folded annoyance?
339
00:17:27,058 --> 00:17:28,495
I object to that, Your Honour.
340
00:17:28,531 --> 00:17:32,017
Okeydokey. Withdrawn.
No further questions.
341
00:17:32,053 --> 00:17:33,423
In the days leading up to the show,
342
00:17:33,459 --> 00:17:35,675
Mrs Ingram engaged in a peculiar
pattern of phone calls
343
00:17:35,710 --> 00:17:38,035
to four particular numbers, in rotation.
344
00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:40,675
It turns out these were phone pagers.
345
00:17:40,875 --> 00:17:43,675
We consider this to be the way
they may have tried to cheat
346
00:17:43,710 --> 00:17:44,855
on that first night.
347
00:17:45,144 --> 00:17:48,141
The pagers could have been strapped
to parts of the Major's body.
348
00:17:48,235 --> 00:17:51,139
Buzz the left leg for A,
the right leg for B, and so on.
349
00:17:51,175 --> 00:17:53,675
But Mrs Ingram couldn't
be calling pagers on the night,
350
00:17:53,710 --> 00:17:55,675
she was on camera in the audience.
351
00:17:55,710 --> 00:17:58,285
No. But there was someone else
in the studio that night.
352
00:17:58,321 --> 00:17:59,498
- So that...
- HE COUGHS
353
00:17:59,534 --> 00:18:00,499
Excuse me.
354
00:18:01,002 --> 00:18:04,675
So what you are saying
is that plan failed
355
00:18:04,710 --> 00:18:07,675
because Mr Pollock
was unable to call on his phone.
356
00:18:08,127 --> 00:18:11,990
Explaining, perhaps, why the Major
didn't do well on night one.
357
00:18:12,026 --> 00:18:15,180
And yet, on night two,
he came back a genius.
358
00:18:15,710 --> 00:18:19,867
The night Mr Whittock was there
with his tickly cough.
359
00:18:21,780 --> 00:18:25,013
What's the normal procedure
when investigating a more,
360
00:18:25,273 --> 00:18:28,273
I suppose, self-evident crime?
361
00:18:28,710 --> 00:18:32,201
Say, where there is a body at the
scene, and a murder weapon present.
362
00:18:32,279 --> 00:18:33,821
Well, you establish the cause of death,
363
00:18:33,857 --> 00:18:36,338
bag up the weapon as evidence
to test for fingerprints.
364
00:18:36,374 --> 00:18:39,449
So at what point here did you
"bag up" the evidence.
365
00:18:39,485 --> 00:18:42,949
In this case, a tape recording.
Did you seize it straight away?
366
00:18:42,985 --> 00:18:47,515
Well, no. The, er, the show
kept the tape, because...
367
00:18:47,550 --> 00:18:49,037
well, to use your metaphor,
368
00:18:49,073 --> 00:18:50,981
they needed to add
the fingerprints to it.
369
00:18:51,017 --> 00:18:54,088
Not add them, I mean find them.
370
00:18:54,124 --> 00:18:55,124
The coughs.
371
00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:56,675
So you allowed the murder weapon
372
00:18:56,710 --> 00:18:59,261
to stay with those making
the accusation of murder?
373
00:18:59,297 --> 00:19:01,123
I object. What is being suggested here?
374
00:19:01,159 --> 00:19:02,547
Some kind of conspiracy?
375
00:19:02,583 --> 00:19:05,675
No. Not conspiracy,
merely that the sequence
376
00:19:05,710 --> 00:19:10,475
in which the evidence was gathered
in this unusual case was not normal.
377
00:19:10,511 --> 00:19:13,247
Normally when a crime is committed,
378
00:19:13,283 --> 00:19:15,113
the evidence is gathered from the scene,
379
00:19:15,149 --> 00:19:18,127
and the police investigate
to find the culprits.
380
00:19:18,163 --> 00:19:21,675
But in this instance,
you began with the alleged culprits,
381
00:19:21,710 --> 00:19:24,429
who everyone told you were oddballs...
382
00:19:24,465 --> 00:19:26,675
- MULTIPLE COUGHS AROUND COURTROOM
- ...based on a feeling.
383
00:19:26,710 --> 00:19:28,675
- And then worked backwards...
- COUGHS CONTINUE
384
00:19:28,710 --> 00:19:30,675
- JUDGE: I must call for quiet.
- ...in order to construct.
385
00:19:30,710 --> 00:19:34,254
Everyone who has a cough,
please go outside.
386
00:19:34,290 --> 00:19:36,675
- DS Ferguson? Is that...?
- COUGHING CONTINUES
387
00:19:36,710 --> 00:19:38,675
Members of the jury, please!
388
00:19:38,710 --> 00:19:41,259
If I may be allowed to finish...
389
00:19:41,295 --> 00:19:43,086
JUDGE BANGS GAVEL
390
00:19:43,122 --> 00:19:45,338
Order! Order!
391
00:19:45,604 --> 00:19:48,195
Or I shall...
HE COUGHS
392
00:19:48,380 --> 00:19:50,710
...I shall have to suspend the session.
393
00:19:54,173 --> 00:19:57,675
I'm sorry. It's just
the pantomime of it all.
394
00:19:58,351 --> 00:20:02,037
I'm embarrassed sometimes, really am.
395
00:20:03,474 --> 00:20:05,350
No. Ignore it. We do.
396
00:20:06,451 --> 00:20:09,160
It's not going that well, is it?
397
00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:12,675
It's all right. A game of two halves.
398
00:20:12,885 --> 00:20:14,675
Wait till we get a chance to fight back.
399
00:20:14,710 --> 00:20:16,675
People are laughing at us.
I really don't know what's worse,
400
00:20:16,710 --> 00:20:18,779
people thinking we're criminals
or idiots.
401
00:20:19,042 --> 00:20:21,042
There are worse things to be accused of.
402
00:20:21,989 --> 00:20:25,752
Let me ask you this, then.
Why haven't you even mentioned that?
403
00:20:25,935 --> 00:20:30,213
Hm? Your sodding badge,
you think I hadn't noticed?
404
00:20:30,249 --> 00:20:33,675
You've got the press screaming
questions at you day in, day out,
405
00:20:33,710 --> 00:20:37,515
which our opponents are happily
answering to guide the narra...
406
00:20:37,550 --> 00:20:38,875
I don't want to boast about it, do I?
407
00:20:38,910 --> 00:20:41,675
I don't... It's there,
for all to see. I do it for my...
408
00:20:41,710 --> 00:20:43,675
for myself, as much as anything else.
409
00:20:43,710 --> 00:20:45,515
PASSER-BY COUGHING
410
00:20:45,550 --> 00:20:49,240
Yes, all right, hilarious, coughing!
411
00:20:49,710 --> 00:20:53,494
You get the Nobel Prize for... comedy.
412
00:20:54,390 --> 00:20:55,675
I don't actually think there is a...
413
00:20:55,710 --> 00:20:58,379
Nobel Prize for comedy, yes, thank you.
414
00:20:59,810 --> 00:21:00,810
Right.
415
00:21:03,710 --> 00:21:04,710
Come on.
416
00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:08,675
Mummy and Daddy finished early today,
417
00:21:08,710 --> 00:21:11,675
so we decided we'd pick you up
instead of Grandad.
418
00:21:11,710 --> 00:21:13,365
That's nice, isn't it?
419
00:21:17,710 --> 00:21:18,675
SHE SIGHS
420
00:21:18,710 --> 00:21:21,901
We thought maybe we'd
have pizzas tonight, yum.
421
00:21:22,507 --> 00:21:23,667
SHE YELPS
422
00:21:25,495 --> 00:21:27,502
Who are they? Are they friends of yours?
423
00:21:27,538 --> 00:21:29,066
Not any more.
424
00:21:32,327 --> 00:21:36,007
It's going to be all right. I promise.
425
00:21:37,013 --> 00:21:38,675
Some silly people just think
426
00:21:38,710 --> 00:21:40,937
Mummy and Daddy did that
silly thing, that's all.
427
00:21:41,031 --> 00:21:42,640
Well, did you?
428
00:21:50,145 --> 00:21:53,148
We might need to consider taking
them out of school for a bit maybe.
429
00:21:53,184 --> 00:21:54,554
I don't know, it's..
430
00:21:56,366 --> 00:21:58,938
Then again, if the worst happens...
431
00:22:00,384 --> 00:22:02,332
...we might need to make plans for,
er...
432
00:22:04,417 --> 00:22:06,194
...for prison. Then we need to think...
433
00:22:06,230 --> 00:22:07,752
PHONE RINGS
434
00:22:09,084 --> 00:22:12,084
- Adrian.
- Oh, leave it. Please. Leave...
435
00:22:13,178 --> 00:22:16,515
- Hello?
- Hey. Hi. You OK?
436
00:22:16,550 --> 00:22:18,409
I just wanted to say hello, really.
437
00:22:18,591 --> 00:22:22,563
- I'm fine. Can I call you...
- It's just a quick thing, really.
438
00:22:22,618 --> 00:22:25,355
Er, cos the publisher's
been on at me, you know. Again...
439
00:22:25,390 --> 00:22:28,213
And, er, look, if you do get off,
440
00:22:28,249 --> 00:22:29,845
and you never know, then...
441
00:22:29,881 --> 00:22:33,170
I'm in court every day, Adrian,
I can't think about the book.
442
00:22:33,206 --> 00:22:36,675
OK, OK, OK, I know.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I know.
443
00:22:36,710 --> 00:22:40,218
- Let's just talk tomorrow.
- No, just stop, just stop.
444
00:22:40,592 --> 00:22:43,297
I just need some space, please. Enough.
445
00:22:49,010 --> 00:22:51,910
Um, can I...
Can I bring you a cup of tea?
446
00:22:55,450 --> 00:22:56,610
I'm sorry.
447
00:22:58,410 --> 00:22:59,818
I'm so sorry, Charles.
448
00:22:59,854 --> 00:23:03,674
No. No, no, no. No, don't do that.
449
00:23:03,710 --> 00:23:04,675
Don't do that.
450
00:23:04,914 --> 00:23:07,334
Thanks, but no. It's all right.
451
00:23:08,138 --> 00:23:10,079
It's both of us in this together.
452
00:23:10,237 --> 00:23:12,710
That stupid show!
453
00:23:17,710 --> 00:23:20,059
- Are we going to go to jail?
- No.
454
00:23:20,986 --> 00:23:22,230
I don't know.
455
00:23:23,790 --> 00:23:25,321
But I know that I love you.
456
00:23:26,203 --> 00:23:30,250
No... No asking the audience,
or phoning a friend, I love you.
457
00:23:30,572 --> 00:23:31,710
I love you.
458
00:23:32,710 --> 00:23:34,210
I love you.
459
00:23:45,818 --> 00:23:47,783
PRESS: Mr Tarrant! Mr Tarrant!
460
00:23:47,819 --> 00:23:49,819
THEY CLAMOUR
461
00:23:55,957 --> 00:23:58,946
I swear by almighty God
that the evidence I shall give
462
00:23:58,982 --> 00:24:02,836
shall be the truth, the whole truth
and nothing but the truth.
463
00:24:02,975 --> 00:24:06,183
Mr Tarrant, a pleasure
to have you here today.
464
00:24:06,219 --> 00:24:07,289
Well, it's a pleas...
465
00:24:07,325 --> 00:24:09,224
Well, it's not a pleasure,
but thank you.
466
00:24:09,260 --> 00:24:12,225
How would you rate the Major's
performance on that first night?
467
00:24:12,260 --> 00:24:16,710
Has anyone done worse? Has anyone,
say, got the first question wrong?
468
00:24:16,746 --> 00:24:20,309
Uh, no. not here.
Think someone did once in America.
469
00:24:20,345 --> 00:24:21,345
LAUGHTER
470
00:24:22,970 --> 00:24:24,775
And when you saw the tapes yourself,
471
00:24:24,811 --> 00:24:26,849
you began to think
that something was amiss.
472
00:24:28,260 --> 00:24:31,225
- If pushed, sure.
- Is that your final answer?
473
00:24:31,260 --> 00:24:32,260
LAUGHTER
474
00:24:36,260 --> 00:24:40,388
Mr, Tarrant, what information
or guidance do you get
475
00:24:40,424 --> 00:24:41,749
when you're in the chair?
476
00:24:41,826 --> 00:24:45,996
Do you wear an earpiece,
are you hooked up to the show relay?
477
00:24:46,032 --> 00:24:48,922
Er, no, no. No earpiece, I
find them really annoying.
478
00:24:48,958 --> 00:24:52,442
Er, so I'm out there
completely alone. Er, just me...
479
00:24:52,827 --> 00:24:53,840
and the contestant.
480
00:24:53,876 --> 00:24:56,327
I don't know the questions
in advance, no-one does.
481
00:24:56,741 --> 00:25:00,225
They're selected by a computer,
which is secured in a sealed room,
482
00:25:00,260 --> 00:25:03,265
where only two senior producers
are allowed access at any one time.
483
00:25:03,613 --> 00:25:06,534
For each contestant, it generates
a random stack of 15 questions,
484
00:25:06,570 --> 00:25:08,495
that could then be locked.
485
00:25:08,531 --> 00:25:11,225
They're not written on cards
that can be lost, or stolen.
486
00:25:11,260 --> 00:25:15,225
And, er, I don't know the answers
till the contestant says
487
00:25:15,260 --> 00:25:17,945
"final answer" and my screen locks.
488
00:25:17,981 --> 00:25:21,798
So I can't give away any hints
or accidental signs.
489
00:25:21,891 --> 00:25:25,047
Right, so, just for the record,
on the night,
490
00:25:25,165 --> 00:25:28,165
did you hear any suspicious coughing
behind Mr Ingram?
491
00:25:31,360 --> 00:25:33,625
No, I didn't.
492
00:25:34,056 --> 00:25:36,440
Did you notice
anything suspicious at all?
493
00:25:37,608 --> 00:25:38,633
No.
494
00:25:39,260 --> 00:25:40,917
Thank you, Mr Tarrant.
495
00:25:46,260 --> 00:25:49,956
"Tarrant was unaware
of strategic coughing in quiz."
496
00:25:50,260 --> 00:25:52,065
Well, that's not very helpful, is it?
497
00:25:52,101 --> 00:25:54,066
Well, it's Chris,
he'll say what he likes.
498
00:25:54,102 --> 00:25:56,413
Well, what would you know anyway?
You've not even been at the trial.
499
00:25:56,449 --> 00:25:58,663
I don't know why,
your mind is always there.
500
00:25:59,432 --> 00:26:02,648
Well, to be honest,
the whole thing is one long,
501
00:26:02,684 --> 00:26:06,000
pretty bloody stressful pain
in the arse, I just want it done.
502
00:26:06,173 --> 00:26:09,082
What do you think about a
documentary? Once the trial's over?
503
00:26:09,749 --> 00:26:11,260
Oh, Jesus.
504
00:26:12,572 --> 00:26:14,770
Looks like I don't have a choice.
505
00:26:14,806 --> 00:26:15,806
_
506
00:26:17,260 --> 00:26:23,265
OK, and so, um,
we thought a new school for a bit,
507
00:26:23,300 --> 00:26:25,225
might take the pressure off.
508
00:26:25,260 --> 00:26:27,186
Urgh! What's that?
509
00:26:28,838 --> 00:26:30,860
OK, girls, upstairs, now.
510
00:26:34,780 --> 00:26:37,260
ANXIOUS BREATHS
511
00:26:42,025 --> 00:26:44,025
Buffy! Oh, my God!
512
00:26:45,816 --> 00:26:47,115
She'll be OK.
513
00:26:47,611 --> 00:26:50,611
- What happened?
- I think somebody accidentally...
514
00:26:51,483 --> 00:26:54,225
...caught him at the front
of the house with a pellet gun
515
00:26:54,260 --> 00:26:55,980
or an air rifle. Accidently.
516
00:27:17,907 --> 00:27:19,872
Is that that coughing Millionaire dude?
517
00:27:20,727 --> 00:27:22,511
THEY COUGH
518
00:27:22,547 --> 00:27:25,512
Oh, yeah, very good.
Very funny. All right, all right.
519
00:27:26,260 --> 00:27:27,265
Oi!
520
00:27:27,300 --> 00:27:29,225
THEY LAUGH
521
00:27:30,044 --> 00:27:32,225
- How dare you! How dare you!
- Hey, hold on.
522
00:27:32,260 --> 00:27:33,874
Do you make a habit
of spitting at people?
523
00:27:33,910 --> 00:27:35,225
- You can back off as well.
- Oi!
524
00:27:35,260 --> 00:27:37,076
- He just spat in my face!
- Leave him.
525
00:27:38,260 --> 00:27:39,581
Seen it before.
526
00:27:40,260 --> 00:27:43,225
They go after military men,
it's good sport.
527
00:27:43,260 --> 00:27:46,471
Even when we're engaged
in the most, heavens,
528
00:27:46,683 --> 00:27:49,745
difficult operations in a generation.
529
00:27:49,946 --> 00:27:53,745
This chap. Information minister of Iraq.
530
00:27:53,780 --> 00:27:56,225
Becoming an actual TV star,
531
00:27:56,260 --> 00:27:59,225
making the most outrageous
assertions about there being
532
00:27:59,260 --> 00:28:02,110
no allied tanks outside Baghdad at all.
533
00:28:02,823 --> 00:28:05,108
Say something loud enough, long enough,
534
00:28:05,144 --> 00:28:07,549
maybe it becomes de facto true.
535
00:28:08,260 --> 00:28:11,225
Yeah. Weapons of mass destruction
hidden in the desert.
536
00:28:11,260 --> 00:28:13,225
Yes, all right, Charles, come along.
537
00:28:13,332 --> 00:28:16,660
The thinking is...
maybe take some time off.
538
00:28:17,260 --> 00:28:19,960
Try to keep your head down,
you know. Yes?
539
00:28:20,586 --> 00:28:22,009
Yes, yeah.
540
00:28:23,395 --> 00:28:26,966
Yes, of course, yeah.
Very, um... Very sensible.
541
00:28:32,780 --> 00:28:34,260
HE SOBS
542
00:28:35,260 --> 00:28:37,518
- Sorry, sir. Sorry.
- No, no, no. It's all right.
543
00:28:38,636 --> 00:28:40,689
You're... You're all right.
544
00:28:44,338 --> 00:28:47,018
Never fear. It's our turn now.
545
00:28:48,588 --> 00:28:50,345
Come on. It's time to turn
this thing around.
546
00:28:52,260 --> 00:28:53,472
Thank you.
547
00:28:54,452 --> 00:28:58,065
Professor Alyn Morice,
specialist in Respiratory Medicine.
548
00:28:58,100 --> 00:29:00,102
An expert on coughing, then.
549
00:29:00,627 --> 00:29:02,862
- You've examined Mr Whittock?
- Yes.
550
00:29:02,951 --> 00:29:06,076
He suffers from three conditions
that cause chronic coughing.
551
00:29:06,383 --> 00:29:10,265
He tested positive for
perennial rhinitis, hay fever,
552
00:29:10,300 --> 00:29:12,225
and cough variant asthma.
553
00:29:12,260 --> 00:29:15,225
So, for the avoidance of doubt...
Mr Whittock has a cough.
554
00:29:15,428 --> 00:29:20,225
Yes, and one that would be hard
to hide in a hot and dry studio.
555
00:29:20,635 --> 00:29:24,817
So hang on, Mr Whittock is basically
unable to control his cough?
556
00:29:25,260 --> 00:29:27,475
I mean, that's sort of
extraordinary, isn't it?
557
00:29:27,534 --> 00:29:29,659
That Ingram should choose,
as a candidate
558
00:29:29,695 --> 00:29:33,140
to implement an intricate plan
of coughing discreetly
559
00:29:33,176 --> 00:29:36,141
but precisely at specific
times and places,
560
00:29:36,334 --> 00:29:38,225
a man with an uncontrollable cough?
561
00:29:38,446 --> 00:29:42,029
- Yes, I suppose it's not ideal.
- Thank you, Professor Morice.
562
00:29:42,142 --> 00:29:43,826
No questions, Your Honour.
563
00:29:44,489 --> 00:29:47,385
Mr Whittock.
Who Wants To Be A Millionaire
564
00:29:47,421 --> 00:29:49,312
wasn't the first show
you appeared on, was it?
565
00:29:49,348 --> 00:29:52,403
Um. No, I've, I've been on...
er, let me see,
566
00:29:52,439 --> 00:29:54,819
Fifteen To One, Sale Of The Century.
567
00:29:55,077 --> 00:29:57,997
And is it fair to say you've
never done astronomically well?
568
00:29:58,033 --> 00:30:00,998
- I do OK.
- What's the most you've ever won?
569
00:30:01,403 --> 00:30:05,225
Oh, I did win a doggy bed
made of silk on Brain Of Britain.
570
00:30:05,481 --> 00:30:06,975
And on Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?
571
00:30:07,916 --> 00:30:09,302
1,000.
572
00:30:09,782 --> 00:30:13,543
Were you part of what might be
loosely termed this quiz community?
573
00:30:14,959 --> 00:30:19,207
I enjoyed having a connection
to people of a shared interest, yes.
574
00:30:20,895 --> 00:30:23,805
Now, you didn't have the easiest
of upbringings, did you?
575
00:30:25,119 --> 00:30:28,084
You were born in a psychiatric hospital,
576
00:30:28,541 --> 00:30:30,225
where your mother was a patient.
577
00:30:30,424 --> 00:30:32,615
Raised in foster homes.
578
00:30:32,651 --> 00:30:36,243
And yet despite all that,
you became a teacher.
579
00:30:36,703 --> 00:30:38,854
And you have a family
of your own now, too.
580
00:30:38,890 --> 00:30:40,010
Yes. Yes.
581
00:30:40,618 --> 00:30:42,310
Would you risk all that?
582
00:30:43,111 --> 00:30:44,756
Are you the third mastermind
583
00:30:44,792 --> 00:30:48,077
in a conspiracy to steal
a million pounds, Mr Whittock?
584
00:30:48,113 --> 00:30:49,793
I would never do anything like that.
585
00:30:50,820 --> 00:30:52,267
I would never cheat.
586
00:31:07,217 --> 00:31:09,617
_
587
00:31:11,311 --> 00:31:13,311
_
588
00:31:16,576 --> 00:31:17,876
_
589
00:31:29,260 --> 00:31:30,542
It's you.
590
00:31:34,695 --> 00:31:38,424
- You tricked me.
- No, it's not what you think.
591
00:31:38,460 --> 00:31:41,412
- I just wanted to meet, all right?
- It's not illegal, what we do.
592
00:31:41,448 --> 00:31:43,225
- I know.
- Those were your weaknesses,
593
00:31:43,260 --> 00:31:46,225
your vulnerabilities
that you left in your own system.
594
00:31:46,260 --> 00:31:48,260
I'm not trying to trap you.
595
00:31:50,260 --> 00:31:54,225
Please, come, come and have a drink.
I tip my hat to you, you beat us.
596
00:31:54,260 --> 00:31:58,265
I just...
I want to know how far you got.
597
00:31:58,518 --> 00:32:02,225
Well, if it's any consolation, we've
started to move on to other shows,
598
00:32:02,260 --> 00:32:07,008
other prizes now.
And I'm... I'm thinking of retiring.
599
00:32:07,436 --> 00:32:11,225
You know, putting a time limit
on answering the call backs?
600
00:32:11,260 --> 00:32:16,450
That was... Well done,
that really knocked us for six.
601
00:32:16,486 --> 00:32:17,855
- Thank you.
- Fair play.
602
00:32:18,394 --> 00:32:20,791
We realised you were pulling
your new "closest-to" questions
603
00:32:20,827 --> 00:32:23,598
from the National Statistics
database. So we did, too.
604
00:32:23,634 --> 00:32:26,122
Populations, travel, economic forecasts,
605
00:32:26,158 --> 00:32:27,483
births, deaths and marriages.
606
00:32:27,519 --> 00:32:31,288
And if I only had seven seconds now
to find the answer for my client,
607
00:32:31,750 --> 00:32:35,225
then, well, I just had to train.
608
00:32:35,680 --> 00:32:38,225
Two months of my life,
I didn't leave the house.
609
00:32:38,503 --> 00:32:41,225
And from now on, if a client
would get a call back at home,
610
00:32:41,260 --> 00:32:44,300
they'd just hold up their mobile
so I could hear.
611
00:32:46,560 --> 00:32:49,301
And we did it, I got there.
612
00:32:50,100 --> 00:32:54,225
Seven seconds, and I could find
the right fact in the right place
613
00:32:54,260 --> 00:32:56,206
and relay it back to them
over the phone.
614
00:32:57,846 --> 00:33:01,666
How... How many people
did you get into my chair?
615
00:33:02,601 --> 00:33:05,585
I'd say... hundreds.
616
00:33:10,260 --> 00:33:11,517
Hu...
617
00:33:17,988 --> 00:33:19,225
Hundreds?
618
00:33:20,526 --> 00:33:24,225
If you really wanna know how well
we penetrated your fortress,
619
00:33:24,337 --> 00:33:26,871
I worked out how much prize money
you've given away
620
00:33:26,907 --> 00:33:28,225
throughout the run of the show.
621
00:33:28,260 --> 00:33:31,260
And how much of that
was won by our organisation.
622
00:33:32,785 --> 00:33:34,960
It's at least 10%.
623
00:33:43,070 --> 00:33:46,197
One pound, in every ten...
624
00:33:46,748 --> 00:33:48,502
- was you?
- Sorry.
625
00:33:49,260 --> 00:33:51,225
Why are you retiring?
626
00:33:51,260 --> 00:33:53,696
Well, in truth,
it's an expensive outfit to run
627
00:33:53,896 --> 00:33:56,072
and it only returns value
if you've got the clients,
628
00:33:56,108 --> 00:33:59,073
and those clients are drying up.
629
00:33:59,472 --> 00:34:02,425
People who devote themselves
to the acquirement of knowledge.
630
00:34:02,460 --> 00:34:04,260
In order to cheat for money.
631
00:34:05,780 --> 00:34:08,804
You might think me a chancer, Mr Smith,
632
00:34:09,260 --> 00:34:11,225
but I see which way the wind blows.
633
00:34:11,345 --> 00:34:12,385
Google?
634
00:34:14,412 --> 00:34:15,930
For the quizzing fraternity,
635
00:34:15,966 --> 00:34:20,059
we're the artisan weavers
and Google's the power loom.
636
00:34:21,060 --> 00:34:24,522
Yeah. The bottom's falling out
of the truth market, Mr Smith.
637
00:34:25,260 --> 00:34:28,460
So, I'm cashing in my shares
and getting out.
638
00:34:29,260 --> 00:34:31,260
You might want to consider
doing the same.
639
00:34:33,260 --> 00:34:34,816
Oh, maybe I will.
640
00:34:34,959 --> 00:34:37,764
Once these particular clients
of yours are in jail.
641
00:34:37,800 --> 00:34:40,606
Oh, those two? They weren't clients.
642
00:34:41,491 --> 00:34:44,170
- But...
- Yes. There were hundreds of us, Paul,
643
00:34:44,206 --> 00:34:46,304
everywhere, without you realising it.
644
00:34:46,620 --> 00:34:50,626
But Charles and Diana Ingram
were never one of ours.
645
00:34:51,060 --> 00:34:52,620
They were never ours.
646
00:35:05,160 --> 00:35:06,300
Mrs Ingram.
647
00:35:09,235 --> 00:35:12,920
What is it about quizzes
that so captivated you?
648
00:35:12,960 --> 00:35:15,664
- Captivates you still?
- I don't know.
649
00:35:17,437 --> 00:35:20,728
I suppose I like the idea,
in a world of uncertainties,
650
00:35:20,764 --> 00:35:23,076
that... that something can be known.
651
00:35:25,560 --> 00:35:29,107
Calling the four pagers over and over.
652
00:35:29,787 --> 00:35:31,379
Your explanation for that?
653
00:35:31,415 --> 00:35:32,909
Adrian. My brother.
654
00:35:33,171 --> 00:35:35,862
It was just our way of
keeping in touch after he left.
655
00:35:35,898 --> 00:35:37,426
And I never knew which one had battery,
656
00:35:37,462 --> 00:35:39,130
so I'd always call all four.
657
00:35:39,655 --> 00:35:42,140
I wanted let him know that
Charles had got on to the show.
658
00:35:42,176 --> 00:35:45,763
And presumably that's why he turned
up at the studio later that night?
659
00:35:45,799 --> 00:35:48,561
He was as big a fan as you. Bigger?
660
00:35:50,101 --> 00:35:52,925
The calls you tried to make outside,
on that first night?
661
00:35:53,203 --> 00:35:54,523
Were to our father.
662
00:35:54,960 --> 00:35:56,980
He's a bigger quiz fan than any of us.
663
00:35:57,016 --> 00:35:59,677
And he regretted so badly
that he was too weak to come.
664
00:35:59,921 --> 00:36:03,253
Now, the quizzing community have
their own theory about the show,
665
00:36:03,289 --> 00:36:06,186
- haven't they?
- Oh, yes, well we think, thought,
666
00:36:06,222 --> 00:36:09,092
the producers were trying to keep
people like us off the show.
667
00:36:09,368 --> 00:36:11,125
Not entertaining enough.
668
00:36:11,160 --> 00:36:13,604
So we called it being "chair-wise".
669
00:36:13,749 --> 00:36:15,714
Er, performing for the camera
670
00:36:15,750 --> 00:36:19,715
so you might get easier questions
and they'd keep you there longer.
671
00:36:19,812 --> 00:36:21,652
I object to that, Your Honour.
672
00:36:21,719 --> 00:36:23,862
As Chris Tarrant himself explained,
673
00:36:23,898 --> 00:36:26,634
the questions are locked from
the very beginning by computer.
674
00:36:26,670 --> 00:36:28,189
The point is, Your Honour,
675
00:36:28,405 --> 00:36:31,222
it doesn't matter
if the theory is nonsense or not.
676
00:36:31,665 --> 00:36:33,665
My client thought it was true.
677
00:36:36,309 --> 00:36:40,268
Now, the prosecution has made a lot
of your "suspicious behaviour".
678
00:36:41,843 --> 00:36:44,328
Were you looking at the monitors
to check if you were being watched?
679
00:36:44,364 --> 00:36:45,364
No.
680
00:36:45,400 --> 00:36:48,525
They deliberately seat you so you're
facing the back of your partner.
681
00:36:48,561 --> 00:36:51,187
And so the monitor
is the only way to see them.
682
00:36:51,627 --> 00:36:55,090
You wanted to look at the face
of the man you love.

00:36:57,073 --> 00:36:59,393
You helped him prepare, didn't you?
684
00:37:01,640 --> 00:37:05,981
- Right, you need to trust me, OK?
- Yes, ma'am, dib-dib, dob-dob.
685
00:37:06,017 --> 00:37:07,782
You need to learn to be
more entertaining.
686
00:37:07,960 --> 00:37:10,625
Questions are becoming
more populist. Popular culture.
687
00:37:10,661 --> 00:37:12,128
Adrian says it's a form of censorship,
688
00:37:12,164 --> 00:37:13,540
to get people like you off quicker.
689
00:37:13,576 --> 00:37:16,541
Which means we'll need to bone up
on that, too, your weakest area.

One of Diana's best tips.
Always listen to the audience.

If you're found guilty, you'll be

face certain bankruptcy,
possible prison sentence.

People have attacked your house,

And "cough, cough, cough",
everywhere you go.

Why did you put yourself
through all that? For a game.
750
00:40:39,350 --> 00:40:40,415
I didn't.
751
00:40:41,647 --> 00:40:43,106
Because I didn't cheat.
752
00:40:47,294 --> 00:40:49,194
So what did you do?
753
00:40:50,760 --> 00:40:55,860
I just... tried to be... entertaining.
754
00:40:57,060 --> 00:40:59,085
And to get the questions right.
755
00:40:59,860 --> 00:41:01,527
And to do my wife proud.

00:41:21,322 --> 00:41:24,287
Take the book in your left hand and
read aloud from the card, please.

Mr Smith.
759
00:41:28,960 --> 00:41:30,960
Thank you for joining us today.
760
00:41:32,694 --> 00:41:35,369
Is it fair to say you took a while
to be convinced yourself,
761
00:41:35,405 --> 00:41:37,370
about this coughing theory?
762
00:41:37,406 --> 00:41:40,524
Yes. I wanted to give the Major
the benefit of the doubt.
763
00:41:40,960 --> 00:41:44,668
Um, but as soon as you
begin watching, and listening...
764
00:41:44,704 --> 00:41:47,418
Once you are told there are coughs,
it's hard to unhear them.
765
00:41:47,801 --> 00:41:49,925
So these are 19 coughs
that you isolated,
766
00:41:49,960 --> 00:41:52,368
that occurred on the correct answers.
767
00:41:52,726 --> 00:41:55,371
Do you know how many there
were in total that night?
768
00:41:55,640 --> 00:41:57,925
AUDIENCE MEMBERS COUGH
769
00:41:58,060 --> 00:42:00,060
192.
770
00:42:01,060 --> 00:42:05,505
There were 192 coughs
picked up on that recording
771
00:42:05,540 --> 00:42:07,522
from all over the place.
772
00:42:07,760 --> 00:42:11,925
Only they didn't fit the narrative,
so they were left out.
773
00:42:12,160 --> 00:42:16,825
You left them out of the famous Tape G.
774
00:42:16,861 --> 00:42:20,639
Just edited, and re-edited,
like a memory,
775
00:42:20,675 --> 00:42:21,884
it's constantly changing.
776
00:42:21,920 --> 00:42:25,181
We have to present to you
what happened somehow,
777
00:42:25,217 --> 00:42:26,975
on... in... in some form.
778
00:42:27,011 --> 00:42:29,400
Yes, but this is your version
of what happened.
779
00:42:29,436 --> 00:42:32,222
The jury are looking
where you want them to look.
780
00:42:32,320 --> 00:42:37,166
The moment, for instance,
when Mrs Ingram's coughing.
781
00:42:37,663 --> 00:42:41,304
Now, that's not an accident that
that's picked up on the master tape.
782
00:42:41,340 --> 00:42:42,862
That is a choice.
783
00:42:42,898 --> 00:42:47,080
It is a creative choice
made by those who are editing it.
784
00:42:47,405 --> 00:42:51,370
The volume of the 19 is raised,
as you've acknowledged,
785
00:42:51,406 --> 00:42:55,783
but if wanted the jury to hear them
at their original volume,
786
00:42:55,819 --> 00:42:57,784
well, I couldn't, could I?
787
00:42:57,960 --> 00:43:01,327
Because your version is now
the only version of events.
788
00:43:01,363 --> 00:43:02,924
They had to be isolated
789
00:43:02,960 --> 00:43:05,228
in the way that the Major
would have heard them,
790
00:43:05,264 --> 00:43:08,292
if he was listening out for them
to replicate the experience.
791
00:43:08,328 --> 00:43:12,515
Why don't you suspect Judith Keppel,
the first millionaire, of cheating?
792
00:43:12,551 --> 00:43:15,228
- Why would I?
- Good question.
793
00:43:16,960 --> 00:43:20,378
I will now play the Judith Keppel tape.
794
00:43:22,147 --> 00:43:25,353
If you wouldn't mind
turning to the television.
795
00:43:26,459 --> 00:43:30,806
For £2,000 between Keppel
choosing the right answers,
796
00:43:30,842 --> 00:43:33,477
and committing to the final answer.
797
00:43:33,530 --> 00:43:34,495
His chaps.
798
00:43:34,531 --> 00:43:35,906
TARRANT: Why would he put
his chaps on his legs?
799
00:43:35,942 --> 00:43:38,490
- COUGHING
- To stop his legs getting rubbed by the balls.
800
00:43:38,842 --> 00:43:42,807
A cough. Similarly,
on the £4,000 question.
801
00:43:42,843 --> 00:43:45,114
- I think it's Aquarius.
- COUGHING
802
00:43:45,150 --> 00:43:46,638
What are you? What's your star sign?
803
00:43:46,674 --> 00:43:50,639
A cough. Again, a cough
on the £8,0000 question.
804
00:43:50,675 --> 00:43:52,640
And the £64,000 question.
805
00:43:52,676 --> 00:43:55,641
And on the 500,000. And on the million.
806
00:43:55,677 --> 00:43:57,471
Now, I don't think she cheated.
You don't.
807
00:43:57,507 --> 00:43:59,049
Why do you think the Major cheated?
808
00:43:59,128 --> 00:44:00,562
I know this game...
809
00:44:01,694 --> 00:44:04,197
...and I know how normal people play it.
810
00:44:04,956 --> 00:44:09,081
And the Major did not play it
normally, I could tell immediately.
811
00:44:09,611 --> 00:44:13,317
Oh, really? What time did you arrive
at the studio that night?
812
00:44:13,960 --> 00:44:15,160
It was, um...
813
00:44:16,796 --> 00:44:19,761
Well, OK, it was at the very end.
I didn't actually see him play live.
814
00:44:19,797 --> 00:44:21,762
Oh, so you arrived late at the studio,
815
00:44:21,798 --> 00:44:23,515
you were told that something was wrong.
816
00:44:23,551 --> 00:44:25,406
And you have pursued this doggedly
ever since.
817
00:44:25,442 --> 00:44:26,442
That's unfair.
818
00:44:28,164 --> 00:44:29,807
Suspicions were raised.
819
00:44:29,843 --> 00:44:31,708
I called the police
and handed it over to them.
820
00:44:31,760 --> 00:44:35,035
They investigated,
and they decided to charge them.
821
00:44:35,341 --> 00:44:39,051
And the jury will find them innocent
or guilty, that's up to them.
822
00:44:39,256 --> 00:44:41,315
- It's not personal.
- Well, of course...
823
00:44:42,639 --> 00:44:45,070
Of course it's personal.
824
00:44:45,780 --> 00:44:47,479
This was my show.
825
00:44:48,405 --> 00:44:49,784
It was my life.
826
00:44:50,960 --> 00:44:52,843
And believe it or not,
it mattered to me.
827
00:44:53,466 --> 00:44:55,912
The people who enjoyed it.
828
00:44:57,381 --> 00:44:59,303
And the people trying to ruin it.
829
00:45:00,011 --> 00:45:01,210
I see.
830
00:45:01,455 --> 00:45:05,373
Could you explain, then, the one
gaping hole in this whole theory.
831
00:45:06,499 --> 00:45:10,464
Could you explain the 18 minutes
between the Craig David question
832
00:45:10,500 --> 00:45:12,305
and the Baron Haussmann question,
833
00:45:12,341 --> 00:45:14,246
when there are no significant coughs?
834
00:45:15,759 --> 00:45:17,924
Well, because Mr Whittock
didn't need to cough
835
00:45:17,960 --> 00:45:19,819
- on those other questions.
- Why not?
836
00:45:21,311 --> 00:45:23,946
Well, because the Major
knew the answer to those questions.
837
00:45:24,163 --> 00:45:25,163
Oh, I see.
838
00:45:25,960 --> 00:45:27,925
Oh, well, then,
my final, final question,
839
00:45:27,960 --> 00:45:29,593
and this is just a tiny little thing.
840
00:45:29,629 --> 00:45:33,424
How did Tecwen Whittock
know that Charles Ingram,
841
00:45:33,460 --> 00:45:36,425
a man he'd never met,
never communicated with...
842
00:45:36,461 --> 00:45:39,124
So how did he know
that Charles knew those answers,
843
00:45:39,160 --> 00:45:40,683
and that he didn't need to cough?
844
00:45:42,760 --> 00:45:44,075
I don't know.
845
00:45:50,339 --> 00:45:52,042
But I know that he cheated.
846
00:45:54,662 --> 00:45:58,382
I'm sorry for everything they've
gone through, nobody wanted that.
847
00:45:59,094 --> 00:46:03,139
But whether it's coughing,
or blinking, or pagers, I know it.
848
00:46:03,320 --> 00:46:04,407
I know it.
849
00:46:05,960 --> 00:46:09,160
He came on my show, and he cheated.
850
00:46:11,077 --> 00:46:15,082
Have you ever heard of this little
thing called "confirmation bias"?
851
00:46:15,661 --> 00:46:17,925
When an assumption sinks into the brain,
852
00:46:18,038 --> 00:46:24,903
it rearranges and reorganises
all facts to support the assumption.
853
00:46:25,237 --> 00:46:26,925
Like on the show relay.
854
00:46:27,075 --> 00:46:31,925
People, suspicious of a man from
a strange family, talking together.
855
00:46:31,960 --> 00:46:33,577
Something's weird.
856
00:46:33,613 --> 00:46:34,663
On a loop.
857
00:46:35,173 --> 00:46:36,753
He's a real dodgy one.
858
00:46:36,789 --> 00:46:38,447
Yeah, I think this guy's cheating
as well.
859
00:46:38,631 --> 00:46:42,352
Now might that not have created
a shared fiction,
860
00:46:42,587 --> 00:46:44,925
which then everyone in the studio
861
00:46:44,960 --> 00:46:49,960
subconsciously began to
distort reality to match?
862
00:46:51,239 --> 00:46:55,986
Isn't it strange that the only
person not hooked up onto the loop,
863
00:46:56,022 --> 00:46:57,370
Chris Tarrant,
864
00:46:57,406 --> 00:47:01,811
is the only person
not to have suspected a thing?
865
00:47:02,820 --> 00:47:06,369
We're all guilty of it.
We do it every day of our lives.
866
00:47:06,553 --> 00:47:09,618
We adjust the world,
and all the information,
867
00:47:09,654 --> 00:47:11,953
in order to navigate our way through.
868
00:47:12,584 --> 00:47:16,272
Take Mr Whittock's alleged cough.
869
00:47:16,480 --> 00:47:19,125
"No," for example, which, incidentally,
870
00:47:19,160 --> 00:47:21,725
could have come from
any one of those contestants,
871
00:47:21,806 --> 00:47:23,771
any one of those microphones.
872
00:47:23,807 --> 00:47:28,772
It's just someone on hearing the
Major hovering over a wrong answer,
873
00:47:28,808 --> 00:47:32,605
muttering quite naturally
to themselves, "No".
874
00:47:33,725 --> 00:47:37,213
Raised to such a volume
on the master tape,
875
00:47:37,373 --> 00:47:40,924
it made you all guffaw
at how obvious it was,
876
00:47:40,960 --> 00:47:45,807
yet on the night, the two people
who sat either side of Mr Whittock,
877
00:47:46,663 --> 00:47:48,301
they didn't hear him say it.
878
00:47:48,436 --> 00:47:51,450
The man who sat opposite the Major,
Chris Tarrant,
879
00:47:51,640 --> 00:47:53,285
he didn't hear him say it.
880
00:47:53,470 --> 00:47:58,133
The 250 people in the studio audience,
881
00:47:58,169 --> 00:48:01,575
none of them, none of them,
when asked, heard him say it.
882
00:48:01,611 --> 00:48:03,693
Yet miraculously the Major did?
883
00:48:04,295 --> 00:48:07,414
A man who couldn't possibly know the
answer to those questions, right?
884
00:48:07,450 --> 00:48:09,155
Not a man with a degree in engineering
885
00:48:09,191 --> 00:48:11,368
who knows what mega and a nano is.
886
00:48:11,608 --> 00:48:14,313
A man who was accepted into Mensa
887
00:48:14,700 --> 00:48:17,279
among the cleverest people
in the country,
888
00:48:17,522 --> 00:48:20,167
only he's too modest
to mention it to anyone
889
00:48:20,203 --> 00:48:23,988
so pinned a badge on his lapel,
and hoped some of you might notice.
890
00:48:24,694 --> 00:48:28,359
We are told he's a man
who got carried away by a game.
891
00:48:28,569 --> 00:48:30,924
Not a level-headed UN Peacekeeper
892
00:48:30,960 --> 00:48:34,239
who rescued men
from the battlefields of Bosnia.
893
00:48:34,275 --> 00:48:37,630
No, you're being asked to believe
that he and his wife cooked up
894
00:48:37,666 --> 00:48:40,796
a conspiracy on a phone call
which lasted eight minutes
895
00:48:40,832 --> 00:48:43,978
with a stranger they'd never met
to cough their way to a million
896
00:48:44,014 --> 00:48:46,844
with an accomplice
with a diagnosed cough.
897
00:48:47,960 --> 00:48:49,373
The fact is,
898
00:48:49,960 --> 00:48:53,344
it will be entirely impossible
to categorically prove
899
00:48:53,380 --> 00:48:57,521
that Charles Ingram did not know
the answers to those questions.
900
00:48:57,960 --> 00:49:00,960
Because we cannot get inside here.
901
00:49:02,350 --> 00:49:03,435
His head.
902
00:49:03,787 --> 00:49:06,509
We just can't know.
903
00:49:07,204 --> 00:49:11,125
And therefore you cannot find him
guilty beyond reasonable doubt.
904
00:49:11,960 --> 00:49:13,960
DOOR OPENS
905
00:49:48,103 --> 00:49:49,108
On the charge of
906
00:49:49,144 --> 00:49:53,092
procuring the execution of a
valuable security by deception,
907
00:49:53,128 --> 00:49:55,925
do you find the defendant,
Tecwen Whittock,
908
00:49:55,960 --> 00:49:57,925
guilty or not guilty?
909
00:49:58,249 --> 00:49:59,304
Guilty.
910
00:49:59,960 --> 00:50:01,236
MURMURING
911
00:50:01,502 --> 00:50:06,627
On the same charge, do you find
the defendant, Diana Ingram,
912
00:50:06,803 --> 00:50:08,863
guilty or not guilty?
913
00:50:11,611 --> 00:50:12,611
Guilty.
914
00:50:12,695 --> 00:50:13,925
MURMURING
915
00:50:13,960 --> 00:50:19,116
On the same charge, do you find
the defendant, Charles Ingram,
916
00:50:19,363 --> 00:50:21,203
guilty or not guilty?
917
00:50:21,858 --> 00:50:22,998
Guilty.
918
00:50:26,616 --> 00:50:29,581
This has been a most unusual
and exceptional case.
919
00:50:29,770 --> 00:50:31,925
Frankly, one is hard-pressed
to find anything
920
00:50:31,960 --> 00:50:35,216
about the circumstances of this case
that is not exceptional.
921
00:50:35,467 --> 00:50:38,492
A crime of this nature
normally carries with it
922
00:50:38,528 --> 00:50:41,528
a sentence of a significant
number of years in prison.
923
00:50:42,651 --> 00:50:47,651
I sentence you to 18 months
in prison, suspended for two years.
924
00:50:49,960 --> 00:50:52,203
So that's it? We're free to go?
925
00:50:52,299 --> 00:50:54,030
If we're guilty,
why aren't we going to jail?
926
00:50:54,587 --> 00:50:59,195
Well, maybe these days, justice
just has to be "seen" to be done.
927
00:50:59,490 --> 00:51:01,461
More than it actually has to be.
928
00:51:02,374 --> 00:51:03,845
Don't question it.
929
00:51:05,490 --> 00:51:07,364
Go and live your lives.
930
00:51:13,404 --> 00:51:15,050
I'll have to resign my commission.
931
00:51:15,715 --> 00:51:17,282
It's all right. It doesn't matter.
932
00:51:17,318 --> 00:51:19,283
It does matter. It matters to me.
It's who I am.
933
00:51:19,815 --> 00:51:22,090
What did Chris Tarrant say
at the end of the show?
934
00:51:23,860 --> 00:51:27,380
"What a man. Quite an amazing man".
935
00:51:30,920 --> 00:51:32,060
Are you ready?
936
00:51:48,303 --> 00:51:51,303
PRESS CLAMOUR
937
00:51:53,480 --> 00:51:55,765
I have got nothing to say, guys. Really.
938
00:51:55,800 --> 00:51:57,000
There's nothing more to say.
939
00:52:02,459 --> 00:52:07,504
And my newspaper
is prepared to pay £675,000
940
00:52:07,675 --> 00:52:10,210
for you to confess to us exclusively.
941
00:52:13,509 --> 00:52:16,528
I think, er, just the photo. Thanks.
942
00:52:16,811 --> 00:52:17,811
Big smile.
943
00:52:19,104 --> 00:52:22,451
A Martin Bashir documentary
on the "Coughing Major"
944
00:52:22,487 --> 00:52:25,452
received a record breaking
audience for ITV.
945
00:52:25,488 --> 00:52:29,696
The highest-rated factual programme,
since the funeral of Princess Diana.
946
00:52:29,960 --> 00:52:31,320
CHEERING
947
00:52:37,694 --> 00:52:40,694
- ...Tony Blair is blaming the IRA.
- Come on. Time for bed.
948
00:52:43,756 --> 00:52:45,756
HE SIGHS
Yep, up in a sec.
949
00:52:57,679 --> 00:53:00,932
So, come on, then. What's the answer?
950
00:53:02,514 --> 00:53:03,797
After all that.
951
00:53:05,262 --> 00:53:08,275
Tell us. It's killing me.
952
