A retired English teacher from Glasgow has won £250,000 on the hit TV quiz show Who Wants To Be A Millionaire.
Callum Hind, who is originally from Govan, took home an incredible prize of £250,000 on tonight’s show.
After winning £32,000 on Monday night, Mr Hind, the son of Archie Hind who wrote Dear Green Place, came back to finish the TV quiz but fell short on the £500,000 question.
The question was: 'In 1930, who became the first non-American to be named Man of the Year by TIME magazine?'
A: Joseph Stalin
B: Albert Einstein
C: Mahatma Gandhi
D: Haile Selassie
Mr Hind, who was an English teacher for 37 years, was two questions away from being the sixth contestant to win £1m - and the first to do so since Ingram Wilcox won the jackpot 14 years ago.
You can watch the episode in full after 10pm on the STV Player.
*The answer was Mahatma Gandhi.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
