Well this is a bit of a curio and no mistake. It’s not the first Who Wants to be a Millionaire?<\/strong> spin-off (there’s 50:50<\/strong> and Hotseat<\/strong>) and it’s not the first show to act as a feeder show to its bigger brother (daily Money Drop<\/strong> winners in Spain could gamble their winnings to play on the big money weekly primetime show). However it’s fair to say we’re really baffled by the broadcast strategy for this – the winners of each episode each weekday this week will play on upcoming episodes of Millionaire<\/strong> with Jeremy Clarkson on Saturday nights but there’s a weird anti-synergy going on, nobody’s really going to give a toss where the players have come from in the following weeks, mainly because there’s no way for Clarkson to advertise it in show because by the time the first Millionaire<\/em> ep goes out, the series of FFF<\/em> has finished. All it’s really likely to do is piss off the Tipping Point<\/strong> audience, which it’s replacing for a week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Strategy aside, we’ll have to see if as a show it can stand on its own merits. We liked Anita Rani as host of the underappreciated The Answer Trap<\/strong> on C4 so no real danger there. As we understand it, so may be wrong, people will “do” fastest finger first ordering questions to earn a spot in a hotseat to make their way up a points ladder (so it’s not just people staring at screens pushing buttons). The two people highest up the ladder will duel off in more fastest finger first questions (this bit does sound like people staring at screens pushing buttons) for the win and the right to sit in the Millionaire<\/em> hotseat at some point during the upcoming Clarkson run.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It might be quite interesting, at least, to see if people who qualify through the show and have shown off basic quiz talent average bigger winnings than those who only have to answer one question on the night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
