Would someone be so kiond as to tell me wehat just happened on Who Wants to Be A Millionaire?

I don't usually watch, but I like the charity episodes. Just as Laurence and Jackie Llewellen Bowen got the Q.15, DS1 decided to have a tantrum over a red toy car! The next thing I know they are getting another Q.15... how come?

When DS1 screams and paddys, its so bad my ears ring and I can't hear anything! Grr. THey're still ringing now!

TIA

I think the original Q15 could have been traslated to the answer they gave. So, as the producers are fair, the gave them another question.

(At least thats what I think happened)

Thank you both!!

LLB didn't come across as ponsy and annoying as he used to. I'm glad they got another go!

the million pound question was 'translated from latin, what is america's motto?' the 4 choices included 'in God we trust' which has been used as the usa's motto from the 1950's apparently, so they chose that, but it was wrong as it was not the old original one which was translated from latin IYSWIM! So the programme said they do not do trick questions and offered them another chance at the million pound question - they took the £500,000! I would have too if only I had the chance
