Was Andrew Townsley from Glasgow the sixth contestant to scoop the maximum prize on the ITV quiz show Who Wants to be a Millionaire?
After correctly answering the first 14 questions, the retired doctor was faced with a question on motorsport but decided to play it safe and walk away with half a million pounds.
The crucial final question was, "Which of these iconic races was held first?"
The options were A: Le Mans 24 Hours, B: Monaco Grand Prix, C: Indy 500 or D: Isle Of Man TT.
Townsley, who said he would use the money for a trip to Niagara Falls, used his final lifeline, phone a friend, but his chosen helper did not know the answer either.
Explaining his decision to walk away, he said: "I don't know the answer and it's just too much money to lose.
"Having got so far and to go on a whim I think would be foolish and Niagara Falls is looking very nice at this time."
Agonisingly, Townsley said he would have said Isle Of Man TT, which was the correct answer.
Host Jeremy Clarkson congratulated him on being a "truly fabulous contender".
Ingram Wilcox was the most recent winner of the million pounds, going all the way in 2006.
In all, five contestants have won the one million prize on the UK version of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire.
The most famous contestant, Major Charles Ingram, has been back in the news thanks to ITV drama Quiz.
Major Ingram "won" the grand prize but it was never paid out after he was accused of cheating in an infamous coughing scam.
Who Wants To Be A Millionaire airs on ITV.
