Who wants to be a millionaire?
I've just started watching the new series. Thoughts? I'm a bit fan of when they did Top Gear, but it shouts out to me... nah.

Re: Who wants to be a millionaire?
I couldn't watch anything with Clarkson in, I couldn't afford all the new tv's. A truly odious person.

Put this on to kill half an hour before the boxing. Appalling contestants. The look on the guys face when he realised that Umbro wasn’t the Greek god of victory was priceless.

Re: Who wants to be a millionaire?
Watched it out of curiosity and got every question right, most of them before the four options came up. Is it getting easier?

If I watch it again it will be recorded so that I can skip the 1001 adverts.

Yeh, you're right Riley the contestants weren't up to much. It is a decent quiz show though, Clarkson or not.

Re: Who wants to be a millionaire?
Questions certainly looked pretty straightforward. But then again, on the Chase one person didn't even know that Angel Falls was in Venezuela, so maybe they just didn't get the interest they expected.

Re: Who wants to be a millionaire?
Started watching but turned off half way through the 2nd contestant..... Think it was the already at the 4th or 5th ad break.
It was appallingly bad (imo). The host, the speed it took to get an answer (to the most rudimentary general knowledge questions), the boring contestants and the ad breaks...
Equals turn off.

When he is in your abdomen removing a growth, better he can spot the difference between the tumour and your liver than who Asclepius was.

You are lying in bed in severe pain from gall bladder infection.
On no more than one side of A4 describe how comforted you are by a well meaning social worker as they approach your bed-happy to discuss Greek and Roman mythology with you for as long as you want

I with you Colburn Claret, Clarkson just comes across as a complete and utter tosser, and I switched that guy off many, many moons ago; and your description of odious is spot on.Colburn_Claret wrote:I couldn't watch anything with Clarkson in, I couldn't afford all the new tv's.

Re: Who wants to be a millionaire?
No, but I have watched it and for a police person, I'd expect her to use better logic than "I think it's between c and d, so i'll go 50/50". Yeah you guessed it, the two she suggested were the two she was left with. Has she ever watched this before???

Be careful questioning her intelligence. You'll get some smartarse on here asking whether you want a copper with brains or one that can give you a crime number or something

At first I thought it could the former BNP Councillor for Padiham & Burnley West.
But her first name is Sharon.

Excellent idea.
Then, when he’s found guilty, he’ll end up banged up so we won’t have to listen to any more of his inane drivel.

Terrible programme. Grounded by the weight of its own cliches...is that your final answer? But we don't want to give you that. Utter garbage.

Bump.
New series starts tomorrow, and somebody wins the jackpot, so it'll be well worth watching.

Re: Who wants to be a millionaire?
I heard this storey on sky news - Clarkson was in awe and claimed they were the best competitor the show has ever seen..
Some going when Pat from eggheads won a million knowing the million pound question answer and used up two remaining lifelines just because he could..

Re: Who wants to be a millionaire?
I agree that saying there's been a winner is a spoiler, but I don't generally watch it.
The first few questions are easy + a lot of people peak around 64k + adverts, so you don't get that many decent questions in the hour anyway.
