Well… it was massively successful for a long time in Australia where it was a daily show for about a decade until The Chase<\/strong> basically killed it off, it’s been on in many countries, and finally<\/em> it’s here. And I’ve never really loved it to be honest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Six people are randomly ordered with one of them in the Hot Seat at any one time. If that first person can answer all fifteen questions correctly, congrats, you win a million. However if you don’t know an answer you have an option to pass and go to the back of the queue, which is better than elimination by getting it wrong but depending on where you are in the stack only just. That’s because only the person who answers the 15th question gets a chance to win the money. Every time someone gets a question wrong the top prize decreases, and if the person playing the fifteenth question gets it wrong they’ll go home with \u00a31,000 provided they’ve collectively at least five right but you won’t have much of a broadcast if they haven’t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It has it all: thick people’s idea of deep strategy, a format that fits uncomfortably into the Millionaire<\/em> formatting (“it’s the \u00a34,300 question!” or whatever, you can’t take most of the money points home at any rate) but almost certainly wouldn’t exist without the Millionaire<\/em> branding and backing. But it does have 15 questions against the clock, it is only half an hour so won’t outstay its welcome and it has got Jeremy Clarkson so it’s unlikely to be a grossly offensive waste of anybody’s time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We understand 18 episodes have been filmed, we’re getting eight now and the other ten are coming later presumably. Let us know what you think in the comments!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
