Charles immediately thought it was Aristotle Onassis, and Tecwen coughed immediately after Charles said his name. After two coughs, Charles was confident and went for it.

Charles immediately thought it was Switzerland, and went for it. This is the only question of the night that Charles knew the answer to without getting help from either his wife Diana or Fastest Finger First contestant Tecwen Whittock.

Charles didn't know. After using his 50/50 the two remaining answers were A1, what he thought the answer was, and Craig David, who he said he had never heard of. Diana took a huge gamble and coughed when Charles was musing over Craig David, hinting that was the correct answer. After nearly locking in A1 as his final answer, he backed off and later said "80% of the time I'm wrong when I guess, so you know what—I'll go Craig David." He then locked in Craig David as his final answer. However, the announcement of the correct answer was delayed by Chris Tarrant going to a commercial break. After the break, Chris recapped exactly how Charles approached the question before revealing Craig David was the correct answer.

Charles checked all the answers and two coughs from Tecwen told Charles it was Cricket.

It took two coughs from Tecwen for Charles to be certain that it was Holbein.

It took three coughs from Tecwen this time instead of two for Charles to choose the correct answer.

Charles immediately thought it was Berlin simply because he thought Baron Haussmann was a German name. He forgot to slowly say all the answers, not giving Tecwen a chance to help. Tecwen then took a huge risk by coughing and loudly whispering 'No!'. He broke the code by creating a signal that meant that Charles was about to give an incorrect answer. But Charles continued to think it was Berlin, so Tecwen made a new signal, a nose-blow, trying to tell Charles that it was the all-stop signal. When Charles rules out Paris, Tecwen coughed hinting that it was correct, stopping Charles mid-sentence. Charles once again thought it was Berlin, and Tecwen once again did his all-stop signal. After saying Paris two more times, and hearing two more coughs from Tecwen, Charles finally went with Paris.

Charles thought it was Nanomole. He said that he never heard of a Googol, but Tecwen had, so he coughed. Charles then visited all the answers again to check with Tecwen. Although he'd never heard of a Googol, he was actually thinking it was, even though he'd just thought moments before that it was a Nanomole. As he says Googol again, Tecwen coughs a second time. Charles then checked all the answers a third time and on Googol, Tecwen coughed for the last time. After saying Googol one last time, Charles finally played Googol as his final answer. However, the announcement of the correct answer was delayed by Chris Tarrant going to a commercial break, which Charles asked Chris not to do. After the break, Chris recapped exactly how Charles approached the million pound question. He tore up the cheque for £500,000, and announced that Charles had just won £1,000,000.
