Overview

  • Dublin faced the £32,000 question asking which event did not occur in the 1990s, with options including John Major becoming prime minister, the birth of Dolly the sheep, the Eden Project opening, and the founding of the FA Premier League.
  • He used a 50/50 lifeline before phoning his accountant Marco, who confidently advised him to choose John Major despite that event taking place in 1990.
  • The correct answer was the Eden Project opening in 2001, causing Dublin’s winnings to fall from a potential £32,000 to the £1,000 consolation prize.
  • He was competing on behalf of the Dianne Oxberry Trust and the Pet Blood Bank and received the standard £1,000 donation after the error.
  • Viewers took to social media in disbelief, expressing disappointment over the phone-a-friend outcome after Dublin’s mistaken choice.
