Secret Millionaire

[Garlick]

Just watching it on C4, not sure what to think.

Rich bloke goes to Moss Side to visit poor people, then hands out some of his cash. I guess if it helps?

Moss Side looks lovely though, I'm moving.

Did he survive?

Looks interesting so far, the little oik arguing with him was quite funny. I would have just said something like "foook arrrf, I've got more cars than you have joints".

It doesn't look like it's changed much since my wife lived there 15 years ago.

Poor chap has to drive a Sunny - probably the idea of C4 - only for local chavs to mock him

Looks like all he has is a MK1 Elise, so only worth a few grand more than the sunny!

Maybe I'm being really shallow, but his house & car don't reflect a chap worth £77m.......

Good, interesting program though.

Used to go to the Robin Hood in Moss Side during my time in Salford.

Utter, utter sthole, made Salford look like paradise.

Of course, amongst the human detritus there are some good people there.

Missed the start, how did he make his money?

I think it might have been really high interest rate loans for people that can't really afford them.

taking from the poor to give to the poor ?

That kid in that OAPs house is so going to steal her card once the cheque has cleared and go on a crack fuelled spending orgy.

Nice to see their reactions, but think it's a bit unfair to start quoting the Sunday Times rich list. Almost showing off?

He could have just said he was doing alright.

I was starting to think that, but I guess it was still good what he did!

Can't stand the idea of this programme. Just seems like a massive ego stroking exercise for the millionaire.

There are far more tasteful ways of helping out the less fortunate.

[Mr Trophy]

Very touching. Great to see that there are people happy to spent their own money to help others.

He looked sooooo pleased ot tell them that he was a millionaire... Not that im suggesting that his money will not go to help, but just do think that is is not a very dignified way of giving charity...

Kind of the nature of the programme. After all the "big reveal" needs to have some impact, wouldn't be quite the same if he just said, "actually I am not who you think I am, I do alright when it comes to money".

It was almost like a kick in the nuts!

If anything, this program is good in the sense of the humbling experience it may provide to some of the millionaires they show.
