Welsh actor Michael Sheen was on tonight’s season premiere of The Graham Norton Show, promoting his role of Chris Tarrant (host of original UK version of Who Wants to be a Millionaire?) in 3-part ITV mini-series Quiz, which is based on the play of the same name and centres on Major Charles Ingram and the coughing scandal that surrounded his win of the £1 million prize on the show in 2001. It aired in UK during Easter long weekend.

Does anyone know whether any Australian broadcaster or streamer has obtained the rights to the ITV mini series Quiz. It sounds interesting and it is a story I remember.

We have the answer. BBC First has acquired the Australian rights to Quiz and will show it on June 24.

Quiz was produced by Left Bank Pictures, which is owned by Sony Pictures (which now owns the Millionaire format).
