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.

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 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.

An image of Dave Foster on Series 13 Episode 9. Dave is currently the only contestant in the UK version whose total prize money is unknown.
Tim Carty was one of the 2 contestants on Series 15 Episode 4. The other contestant being Martyn Garret Roberts (of whom there are no pictures of)
