TFI Friday
On 24 December 1999, Woodley won £1,000,000 on Chris Evans' television series TFI Friday, during the Someone's Going to be a Millionaire section of the show. This section was designed to guarantee a winner of £1,000,000 on British television for the first time (Who Wants to be a Millionaire? did not have a £1,000,000 winner until Judith Keppel won on 20 November 2000).
Woodley won the prize by successfully answering the question "In the film American Pie, what was the pie made from - cherries or apples?" After winning the money, Evans asked Woodley if the money would change his life; Woodley responded that it would not, and he intended to remain unemployed. In actual fact he was employed by J.Sainsbury Charlton depot as a warehouse operative.ref>HR Dept J.Sainsbury plc

Famous quotes containing the word friday:
“The dripping blood our only drink,
The bloody flesh our only food:
In spite of which we like to think
That we are sound, substantial flesh and blood—
Again, in spite of that, we call this Friday good.”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
