Trivia

 * After stating that he would walk away from his £32,000 question for the second time, the lights went up, which is usually only done when time runs out, a contestant misses or walks away from a question, or gets one of the milestone or top-tier questions right. This was probably an accident, as the lights operator had probably believed that Keith was actually going to walk away.
