This week Neil Young did two amazing club shows at the Capitol Theatre in Port Chester, New York, with his new band the Chrome Hearts. He began both nights with “I’m the Ocean,” one of his fiercest songs, from the 1995 Pearl Jam collaboration Mirror Ball. “People my age, they don’t do the things I do” — that was a great line when he was on the edge of turning 50, but it’s a whole other experience hearing him snarl it now at 78. On Monday night he sang that verse twice,...

For a few freewheeling days in June of 1970, Elvis Presley assembled some of Nashville’s best sessions players to jam in RCA Studio B on Music Row. Elvis chose the songs himself, everything from Simon & Garfunkel’s “Bridge Over Troubled Water” and Bob Wills’ “Faded Love” to Willie Nelson’s “Funny How Time Slips Away” and Eddie Rabbitt’s “Patch It Up.” The sessions were marathon affairs, and naturally the musicians — and Elvis — would get hungry.

Charlie McCoy, the multi-tool player who first recorded with Elvis on the soundtrack to 1965’s awful Harum Scarum,...

Beginning Sunday, May 31, AMC will air Quiz, a three-part drama from writer James Graham and director Stephen Frears detailing the meteoric rise of Britain's Who Wants to Be a Millionaire and the stunning cheating scandal that threatened to tear it down.

With clever writing, an excellent cast, and inspired direction, Quiz propels you through the episodes with breakneck speed.

By the time Who Wants to Be a Millionaire landed in the Us, it was already a phenomenon in the UK. Historic ratings made it an easy sell to foreign entities, and by starting Quiz early in the development at ITV, viewers get the full picture of went into the modern marvel.

From the earliest stages, Who Wants to Be a Millionaire capitalized on the audience's perception of what they're watching and how it drives them into a bit of a frenzy.

Graham and Frears deftly introduce all of the major players in the scandal concurrently.

Deep into the second episode of “Quiz,” a roomful of frustrated TV executives face some existential questions after watching a man seemingly bumble his way to winning the million pound jackpot on their fledgling hit, “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?”. Did he cheat? Does finding loopholes in their system actually count as cheating? Is cheating on a game show technically, legally a crime? But again, and most importantly: did he cheat?

This question haunts “Quiz,” James Graham’s 3-episode series about the real life case of Charles and Diana Ingraham, a married couple whose time on “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?” eventually resulted in charges of deception and conspiracy. (They maintain their innocence to this day.) And yet, “Quiz” pointedly isn’t about finding the “truth” of the matter. Instead, it unravels the human desires, neuroses and outright stubbornness that made “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?” such...

Quiz Episode 2

“People like us don’t deal with the police,” Diana Ingram (Sian Clifford) tells her husband in episode two, adding with Clifford’s precise comic timing, “this is Wiltshire.”

It’s half a gag at the expense of cosy middle England, and half an insight into the part that class plays in this scandal. Risks are taken either by people with nothing to lose, or by people who have never lost. The Ingrams, wellies-and-Le Creuset types from comfortable backgrounds, look very much like the latter.

That’s partly why their concerted efforts (whether judged as criminal or not) to take cash from Who Wants to be a Millionaire? feel egregious. Like that of Judith Keppel, the show’s first millionaire, granddaughter of an Earl and third cousin to the Duchess of Cornwall, any win by them would be tough to celebrate. Line it up with expenses-fiddling,...

Exclusive: Succession’s Matthew Macfadyen, The Good Fight’s Michael Sheen and Fleabag’s Sian Clifford are to star in Quiz, a drama about the Who Wants to be a Millionaire? cheating scandal, for AMC and ITV.

The Breaking Bad broadcaster and the British commercial network have commissioned the TV adaptation of Brexit: An Uncivil War writer James Graham’s play from The Crown producer Left Bank Pictures with A Very English Scandal’s Stephen Frears to direct.

This comes over a year after Deadline revealed that the Sony-owned producer was turning the play into a television drama.

Quiz tells the story of Charles Ingram, a former British army major, who caused a major scandal in the early 2000s after being caught cheating his way to winning £1 million on the game show Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? It tells how Ingram, his wife Diana and an accomplice, Tecwen Whittock,...
