Tarrant talks of hopes for Quiz

Chris Tarrant has said he hopes Michael Sheen does not do a Rory Bremner-style impression when he portrays him in the TV series Quiz.

Sheen will play the former Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? host in ITV’s forthcoming dramatic adaptation of the show’s famous cheating scandal, and a photograph of him in character has just been released.

Tarrant, 73, said he is “thrilled” that the Hollywood star is portraying him in the series.
