Celador Films, the movie arm of Celador Productions, the company that produces "Who Wants To Be a Millionaire", is developing a film about the recent cheating scandal on the hit quiz show.

The project is expected to be a comedy of errors detailing the stories of the real-life contestants, British army Major Charles Ingram, his wife, Diana, and college lecturer Tecwen Whittock.

Last month, all three were found guilty in a London court of cheating their way to the show's jackpot using a series of coughed signals to identify the correct answers.

British TV writer Russell T Davies, who wrote Queer as Folk, has been signed to write the screenplay.
