Bill McKaig
"The 433 Man"
Besides the ultimate achievement of getting a 433 maximum, Bill McKaig once had to endure a show where, in the final, he was reduced to one life early on. His two oponents consistently nominated him in the hope of eliminating him, and he in turn nominated them back in order to save his precious life. Eventually the questions were exhausted and McKaig won the show.

He's a geek, he knows it, and he doesn't care. A teacher from somewhere in Cumbria, he scored the third highest ever points total 321? In the series ending on Christmas Eve 1999. Surname pronounced PEN-RICE, not PENRICE.

William G. Stewart with Trevor Montague, or is it Steve Romana? Trevor Montague
"The Cheat, or is it Steve Romana?"
On 20th November 1998 The makers of Fifteen-To-One won a County Court judgement against Trevor Montague, a former series champion of the programme.

At Wandsworth County court in South-West London, Judge Michael Walker ruled that Mr Montague (pictured) had deceived the programme's makers, and ordered him to pay �3,562 in damages and return a pair of goblets and two decanters.

Montague broke the rule which states that losers on the programme cannot take part again. However, after being knocked out in 1989, Mr Montague entered again in 1992 under the name Steve Romana, wearing a T-shirt and earrings to disguise his appearance. On the application form, the 44-year-old stated that he had not previously auditioned for the programme. One more he was beaten, but in 1998 he returned under his real name, and went on to win in the programme's Grand Final.

However, when a viewer saw a repeat of the 1992 series on satellite television, they noticed the uncanny resemblance between Mr Montague and "Steve Romana", and contacted Channel 4. Regent Productions sued Montague when he refused to hand over the prizes he had won on the show.

Mr Montague is no stranger to quiz shows, having appeared on Winner Takes All, Mastermind, the radio quiz Brain of Britain, The Krypton Factor, Today's the Day and Countdown. He even appeared on a television documentary about quiz shows, stating that Fifteen-To-One was one of the easier shows to take part in because "the questions come up again and again".
