Major Charles Ingram doesn’t even like quizzes... but for his wife Diana, and brother-in-law Adrian, knowing the answer is a way of life.

When television producer Paul Smith puts everything on the line to make an ITV & STV quiz show and overnight sensation ‘Who Wants to be a Millionaire?’ a much-loved pub-quiz hobby turns into outright obsession.

​As Diana and Adrian’s repeated attempts to get into in the hotseat fall short, all eyes turn to an unsuspecting Charles to win the million-pound prize.

​Meanwhile, the repeated reappearance of middle-class, professional quizzers has not gone unnoticed by the ITV team and Paul makes a vow to stop them by any means necessary.
