The lead copper has had a few minor roles but played Simon's dad in The Inbetweeners.

they've gone bankrupt 4 times

@ Ang , its the way forward , A few of us will need to go down the Market Stall route

i think guilty, , but beyond reasonable doubt, the verdict should be NOT GUILTY

shouldn't be found guilty

If this is a true reflection & I was on the jury I could not possibly find them quilty, do I think they did cheat yes but that's totally besides the point.

They'll make a million off the back of this if they've got anything about them.

Quite likely a substantially larger amount of evidence was produced at the trial than shown in a television drama.

The trial lasted four weeks.

If you were charged with a very serious crime and had a choice between a jury trial or a judge only trial, which would you go for?

difficult one that angoose, im not sure

Your choice might be different depending on whether or not you actually committed the crime

thing is a lot of jurys are so thick they dont know what beyond reasonable doubt means

Exactly what happened when I did jury sevice, only myself & one other person got the brief about beyond reasonable doubt, crazy thing was the trial went into a third week & One juror left to go on holiday, that left a majority of 9-2 the missing juror had already stated she voted guilty, you can imagine how popular we were in the jury room, the judge would have accepted a 10-2 majority  so a hung jury it was & don't know  if there was ever a retrial.

I thought he made a good point about the gasp from the audience when he said 'A1'.  If he thought that was indicative, maybe he would change his mind.

Also, if he thought that the 50-50 was NOT a random removal of two wrong answers, he might have initially said A1 as a tac tic.

If you remember, Chris T only said "no help from the audience" before FFF.

I've never done jury service but I have seen "Poetic Justice, Innit?"

I would imagine half the jury just want to go home asap.

I would have got the cougher to cough on a wrong answer and still won

It really was like "Poetic Justice Innit?"  (That's an episode of Minder, btw)

They would love somebody like me then, I’d be the Henry Fonda character in Twelve Angry Men

PAY THE MAN !!! FFS

TV appearances

Following his appearance on Millionaire, Ingram has appeared on other various TV shows, including The Games,[27] The Weakest Link, and Wife Swap, featuring alongside his wife in the latter two.[28]


Insurance fraud case

In late 2003, Ingram and his wife were charged with further fraud offences. On 28 October, Ingram was found guilty at Bournemouth Crown Court of obtaining a pecuniary advantage by deception, and of a second charge of deception, having attempted to claim on an insurance policy after an alleged burglary at his home. Ingram had failed to tell Direct Line Insurance about claims he had made in the three years before he took out the policy in July 2001. The court was told that Ingram had been a "habitual claimant" with Norwich Union after suffering "unfortunate" losses of private possessions.[29]

Christopher Parker, prosecuting, said Ingram switched insurers to Zurich Insurance Group in 1997, after Norwich Union reduced a burglary claim from £19,000 to £9,000, and in 2000 switched again to Direct Line. "He has been ineluctably dishonest", Parker said. "He went to Direct Line and didn't make a disclosure about his claims history because he knew he wouldn't have been insured. It might not have started off as the most monstrous piece of villainy but these things tend to snowball and it all came to a sticky end when he claimed for £30,000." Staff at Direct Line were already "suspicious" about Ingram's £30,000 burglary claim but decided to investigate only after reading newspaper coverage about his questionable win on Millionaire.[29]

Ingram was given a conditional discharge on the charge of fraudulently claiming £30,000 on insurance. The judge told Ingram he took into account "the punishment [Ingram had] brought upon [himself] and [his] dire financial state" and rejected an alternative option of community service after Ingram told a probation officer he feared other criminals would bully him.[30]
