Chris Elliott (Series 21)

Chris Elliott, a managing director of a communications business from Wellingborough, Northamptonshire, was a contestant on series 21 of the UK version of the show on 21st & 28th April, 2007. He walked away with £1,000 after incorrectly answering his £8,000 question. He did not use his Phone-A-Friend lifeline.

Fastest Finger First
From the 9 remaining contestants, 7 got it right, but Chris (with a time of 3.43 seconds) was the fastest to correctly answer B-A-C-D, making it into the Hot Seat.

Trivia

 * Just before revealing that Chris had lost £3,000, Chris Tarrant said that Chris' wife up in the audience had said A using her keypad.
 * On the Challenge TV rerun of this episode, instead of the usual Hot Seat Crossover sequence, the Goodbye Punter sound plays, and the camera is focused at the audience. This is probably because on the original airing, a break was taken at that point, whereas one was not taken during the rerun.
