Martin Riley is still quizzing! He appeared on the new 15 to 1 series, and he also got to the semi-finals of the most recent series of Brain of Britain! By coincidence, another contestant on the most recent series of Brain of Britain was David Goode, a former 15 to 1 champion.
I was a big fan of 15 to 1 and noticed that in series 1 players would go for questions at the first opportunity but I'm not sure it was clear at the time that winners despite the score would come back the next series, so I noticed after that players tended to play safe and after that nominate. In the later series going for questions early became more of thing for the top players.
This was a terrific performance - the highest score at the time, and Martin (already a multiple winner / grand finalist) went on to win this series grand final too... I remember I was absolutely astonished when Martin then went on to finally be eliminated in his heat game in the very next series!
I wonder if martin didn't nominate, I think he would've hit the maximum. I miss watching this Quiz in the early 90s, I was disappointed in (2003) when William g Stewart "said that was 15to 1. I'd say he would've given the chasers a run for their money.
He couldn't as the first question was unanswered, but I think he probably would've known the rest and got 423, the same score as Michael Penrice a few years later.
Although, even though a top quizzer, 'parole', 'weighting', and 'Little Lord Fauntleroy' were tricky and I'd had a feeling he'd have got one of those wrong. Martin won the grand final but lost in the first round next series with two extremely tough questions that almost everybody would've got wrong.
@Visonu You're right of course! I LEFT Britain shortly after this. But I've now SEEN the Bill McKaig performance (NICE to see a 15-1 MAXIMUM - albeit a decade late) and adjusted this piece's title accordingly!
This isn't the highest ever score though and was beaten by somebody who got a maximum score of 433. I think he was a pastor or a vicar or somehting like that

I was shouting at the screen for Martin not taking the questions to start with. I’m glad he took the questions in the end.

Put this man against Nick Terry, Daphne Fowler and Bill McKaig. Now that would be the ultimate quiz off.
These people amaze me..
A great pace.
Hugely intelligent man.

All so much smarter than the contestants these days...
Daphne Fowler, from Eggheads, scored 432, she appeared on lot of shows, she won a car on Sale of the Century back in the 70's

@kittenfish1984 That was Bill McKaig. Its here as well.
@AlanSmithee20 put part 1 on would love to see it
@jamesw1335 - Yes!
I'm a bit shocked. 333?! THAT'S A HUGE HIGH SCORE!!! UNBELIEVABLE DUDE!!!!
do you have any more 15 to 1 videos
A total of 333 is the biggest score to win on an episode of the British TV series "Fifteen to One".
Daphne Fowler and Bill McKaig each achieved 433, the maximum possible.
@@jeffclayton3179 Bill was ruthless with his General Knowledge.
@@jeffclayton3179 Daphne 432 as she got one wrong in round 2.
@jamesw1335 - Sorry! I have about 1,000 uploads up (it's taken me a YEAR) and another 1,000 to GO! I'm past this now. Besides, part two is BEST!
@jamesw1335 - Only part one of this extraordinary episode.
do you have the first part of the show
I knew around 80 per cent of these including around the last 15-20 questions Martin was asked :)

Yeh, Bill McKaig. Sadly he died in 2021.
This bloke is an android.
What drugs is he on?
