Channel 4 bosses admit Million Pound Drop mistake
Channel 4 bosses have agreed to give a couple a second chance on Million Pound Drop after they wrongly lost a fortune on the show last week.
Husband and wife Johnny and Dee were axed from the Davina McCall hosted-programme after answering that the longest serving Doctor Who was either Sylvester McCoy or Paul McGann.
Researchers on the series claimed it was David Tennant, but fans of the cult sci-fi show called Channel 4 to inform them the answer was in fact McCoy.
And now chiefs at the channel have agreed to give Johnny and Dee another shot at the prizemoney.
A Channel 4 spokesperson says, “Having spoken to the Dr Who production team at the BBC, the Million Pound Drop producers have confirmed that the correct answer to this question was Sylvester McCoy and not David Tennant as shown on the broadcast on Friday 5th November. This is due to Sylvester McCoy?s final appearance in a 1996 TV movie.
“We apologise for this oversight and as a result, the contestants, Johnny and Dee, will return to the show to finish the game this Friday or Saturday at 10pm on Channel 4 with the £325,000 they placed on McCoy.?
