Descriptor: First we see a blue background, with a computer generated image of shining glass letters, which reads “15 years.” We then see Christopher Biggins standing outside the Globe Theatre. As he speaks, we see the party goers arriving.

Christopher Biggins: I’m here at the Globe Theatre for a very special party. Tonight over two hundred National Lottery winners will be here, celebrating fifteen years of the lottery creating millionaires. Hey, let’s get this party started.

Descriptor: We now see various fast shots inside the party, before once again meeting Christopher Biggins, interviewing four female lottery winners.

Christopher Biggins: I’m about to meet four hysterical women who, together, won nineteen million pounds. You’re not listening, you’re talking to me, not talking to each other.

Descriptor: We now pan across the party, before once again seeing Christopher, who stands with Karl Crompton, who won £10.9 million in 1996.

Christopher Biggins: You won an incredible ten million pounds.

Karl Crompton: I did, yes.

Christopher Biggins: Very, very exciting. And you were single, and you were a bit of a playboy I hear?

Karl Crompton: My wife’s here now, you can’t say that.

Descriptor: We now focus in on a screen which has the 15 years lottery logo, before once again going back to Christopher, as he interviews the four female lottery winners. He speaks to Barbara Derry, who won £2.3 million in 2000.

Christopher Biggins: How did you manage all to get together?

Barbara Derry: Ah, we met at a lottery function.

Christopher Biggins: Yeah, what was that?

Barbara Derry: Em, Ascot.

Christopher Biggins: Ascot? This is not your hat, is it?

Barbara Derry: This is my hat.

Christopher Biggins: You didn’t have that made.

Barbara Derry: I did.

Descriptor: Once again we see an interior shot of the party, before seeing Christopher interview Sue and Paul Watson, who won £1.1 million in 2007.

Christopher Biggins: Do you still do the lottery?

Paul Watson: Yes, of course. Got to be in it to win it.

Descriptor: Once again we see an interior shot of the party, before seeing Christopher interview Dawn and Derek Ladner, who won £958,000 in 2007.

Christopher Biggins: What was the best thing about your win?

Derek Ladner: Time. Ah, we’ve got a young grandson now, two years old, and we get to spend all the time we can with him.

Descriptor: We now see various shots of food being served at the party, before seeing Christopher interview Marion Richardson, who won £16.7 million in 2004.

Christopher Biggins: Hello Marion, what did you win?

Marion Richardson: Ah, just under seventeen million.

Christopher Biggins: I love you!

Descriptor: Once again we see interior shots of the party, including Christopher Biggins having his photo taken with guests. We then see Christopher with the four female Lottery winners, as they discuss the first thing they bought. First to answer is Julie Jeffrey, won £1 million in 2002.

Christopher Biggins: What was the first thing you bought, was it a car, was it a, it was what?

Julie Jeffrey: It was a cheese grater.

Dawn Ladner: Fish and chips, that we had with the champagne they gave us.

Descriptor: Once again we see various interior shots of the party, before seeing Christopher with Karl Crompton and his wife, Nicole Crompton.

Christopher Biggins: When you heard that he’d won ten million pounds, did you think, my god, there’s a catch for me?

Nicole Crompton: Of course I did!

Descriptor: We now see more interior shots of the party, before seeing Christopher with the four female lottery winners once again, as he speaks to Andrea Holmes, who won £2.5 million in 2002.

Christopher Biggins: You’re not married yet?

Andrea Holmes: No, I’m single.

Woman: We keep looking.

Christopher Biggins: I’m going to get down on one knee, will you marry me (laughs)? It’s worth a try.

Descriptor: We now see the lottery winners at tables, raising their glasses to the camera, before for the final time focusing in on Christopher Biggins.

Christopher Biggins: Goodbye for now, but I’ll be back soon with some more party fun.

Descriptor: Finally, we see a blue background, with a computer generated image of shining glass letters, which reads "15 years".
