Status: Partially Lost
The famous game show Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?, which was originally based in the UK, has been running since 1998. Some episodes, unsuprisingly, have not been recorded, although they have been transcribed. However, a few episodes are completely lost.
Series 9 Episode 29 (Partially Lost)
While this episode is mostly complete. One run remains lost: Peter and Valiene Tungate's run. Peter and Valiene Tungates run is among the most notable runs in the shows history, as while there have been many £0 winners in the UK version, the pair are the only contestants to miss a question before question 5. For unknown reasons, their run has been edited from reruns of the show and its rather unlikely that the run will be found.
Series 10 Episode 1 (Corination Street Special) (Lost)
Three contestants (Sean Wilson, David Neilson and Claire McGlinn) appeared in this episode and whilst all of their prizes are known, no video or images have surfaced of their runs. It's also worth noting that while Sean Wilson's total winnings are known, the point at which he stopped playing the game is not; it is unknown how many questions he answered right.
Series 13 Episode 10 (Lost)
The most prevalent lost episode is Series 13 Episode 10. This is because it features 2 notable contestants: Dave Foster, the only contestant in the UK version whose winnings are not yet known and Robert Scott, who earned the highest amount of money that season (£250,000). While the first half of Dave Foster's run is avaliable, there is no video or images of Robert Scott's run.
Series 15 Episode 4 (Lost)
This episode is rather unusual, as this was the episode after the Valentines Day Special (aired on 14th February). However, the show did not bring back Pat Williams, whose run was interrupted by the klaxon (end of show) and was not brought back until 2 episodes later. This is odd for the show as this episode features regular contestants as opposed to celebrities, so it is unknown why Pat wasnt brought back until 2 episodes later. This episode has not been seen since its original airing and may not be seen again, likely to avoid confusion within the reruns.
Series 19 Episode 1 (Unconfirmed)
According to various sources such as gameshows.ru and the WWTBAM wiki, Don Abbot, a carryover contestant from the end of Series 18, continued his run on Series 19 Episode 2 (as opposed to Episode 1). However, nothing is known about the "original" Series 19 Episode 1, so this is likely a typo.
