Even more likely then, you can send as many questions in as you like.

I can confirm that it IS the Ian (funnily enough spelt Iain gretton in the original run) who won a lot of money on the first series of The People Versus.
I'm getting a bit sick of seeing his name on the new show - he has knocked out a contestant THREE times (including today) on TPV, despite having appeared on the first version himself - and has had other questions which haven't stumped the contestants umpteen times.
I'm getting a bit sick of it really - either he is such a boring bloke that he spends his WHOLE DAY writing questions for the show, or the porducers have hired him and are paying him a small fee, so he doesn't have to take the money that he coughs up out of the contestant's misfortune.
It is the same bloke - there are no two blokes called Ian Gretton from Brighton, and this was confirmed by Iain Weaver in the UK Game Show Page (www.qwertyuiop.co.uk/gs).
I think good luck to him, like I said, there is no restrictions to how many questions you send in, so why not. He looks like he might be retired so has a bit of time on his hands so why not try and make a bit of cash this way ? BTW I do like Kaye on the People Versus, she is a very good host and much better than Kirsty Young on series 1. Mind you, they have made the game a lot better since then. I love it when Kaye tells them 'to beat that bong'.

I imagine lots of people are livid that questions they sent are not being asked.
The shows being aired now were recorded around the time the series started. Meaning that most of the questions set so far were set by people who sent questions as a result of being asked (usually via e-mail) before the series started.
Most of the people setting questions either appeared on or asked questions for the first series, hence they are on a list. Other people have won money twice in the same day from setting questions, though I expect there to be a bigger spread of names now since there will be submissions based on the advertising for question setting during the early shows.
