The Secret Millionaire

Several of the contestants during this series have stated the programme has changed their out look on charities, and they will be taking a greater interest in those organisations they've come into contact with.
 
He's just such a big old pussy cat isn't he?:) I was just saying to RAB about Gary's builders bum and then "Mo" noticed it too and we had a good laugh!

Very emotional programme.

Shame about the guy in the pub wasn't it? I've never seen a belly the size of his, poor guy. What terrible damage booze can do.

Very, very sad about the young lad dying too. RIP.
 
My god! the amount of obesity in ALL of them and especially the kiRAB!

How come if they are poor they can still afford to buy that much food?

Oh one who couldn't afford football boots talks of having a MacDonald's!
Maybe if he stopped stuffing his face with that, he wouldn't be obese and could afford his own football boots.

I think "poor people" in this case just means lazy fat people.
 
I grew up in Rochdale and really enjoyed this programme.The rich lady really was a class act.

Just one question...where were the Asians? Rochdale is a great town but it has a strongly Asian influence these days...the area i grew up in is almost 100% Asian these days.
 
At the end of the day, it's a format not a documentary. It's a good one but it's very formulaic in its set-up hence why it does get a tad repetitive each week. It's as much of a format as Supernanny and Wife Swap, if perhaps more worthy. I agree about the bloke, I couldn't warm to him at all.

I think my favourite "millionaire" this series was incidentally the richest one (went to Glasgow I think). Not because he gave the most money but because he seemed like a genuine guy who learnt a lot about himself through the experience.
 
He did seem to be genuinely interested in what they were doing, and told at least one of them to get in touch if they needed anything. Hopefully he didn't see the cheques as a one off. It didn't look like that to me.

I didn't think he was being tight with his donations, which I did feel last week, even though the totals weren't that different. He seemed to be giving the money more freely, and I also suspect that he's not got huge piles of cash floating around waiting for him to give willy-nilly. If he's been building up a business, he's probably been reinvesting a great deal of what he has made. If he made himself ill due to over-working, he's probably not been that extravagant in spending it on himself.
 
I really dont think its a secret anymore after 3 years,i used to look forward to the ending of each show with the suprise of the money but now i just get the feeling that they already know whats coming up.
