New Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?

Problem is Jon, daytime can't seem to afford £1million. Think of every game show in America that works here, Weakest Link, Don't Forget The Lyrics, Are You Smarter than..., even Deal or No Deal, the top prize is a million dollars because they can afford it. Over here it's usually around the £250k mark which is why if they were to consider moving it to an afternoon game show, they would have to trim the money tree a good bit in order to make it financially viable to run every single week day.

Incidentally going back to that game the other night, what would have happened to that lady if she hadn't walked away before the klaxon. Would she have been forced to walk away?

Hold-up gammeshows mentioned are not all American originated:-
The Weakest Link - British (BBC Productions)
Deal or No Deal - Dutch (Endemol)

But when ITV moved FF, Catchphrase, Wheel to Daytime, there did Cut back the prizes found to £2000. YET Daytime Dond and WL can give away load more that!

The Weakest Link didn't give away that much.

You can still win £10'000 on the WL which is still loads more than £2000

Let's go manual... apparently only the second time ever.

Well that was an exciting end to the show. 5 questions answered in around a minute and a half! Wish that was always the speed of the show - much better without the chat.
