Q: WHO WANTS TO BEAT A MILLIONAIRE?
A: You do? Then tackle this quiz set by the man who won a million on the hit show earlier this year
FOR the first time in 14 years, a contestant on ITV’s Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? clinched victory and secured the top prize in September. Host Jeremy Clarkson fought back tears as he announced that DONALD FEAR (right), from Shropshire, had joined the £1 million club, becoming only the sixth champion in the show’s 22-year history, after a mere 20 minutes of sensational play. Now the 58-yearold retired history teacher and father-of-four has compiled a Millionaire-style Christmas quiz especially for Mail readers. So, do you have what it takes?
