Don't think so, so that would mean 6 years without a big winner....If this was in the USA, it would have been cancelled a long time ago.

ITV and Victory Television need to shake it up radically, or failing that end it...

On what grounds?

They already did, do you mean unshake it up?


Take the USA version for example, it was ultimately low ratings and to many celeb specials resulted in the Primetime version get cancelled and put into daytime syndication.

That's shown in GSN's Gameshow Hall of Fame when they looked over Millionaire.

But yet here in the UK, we seem to keep wheeling things out after their sell by date.

In primetime US Millionaire was shown much more regularly than the UK one and it burnt out quicker.

US Millionaire has also been on everyday of the week in it's daytime form, hence the desperate need to rejig the format beyond recognition.

So you're talking piffle really, when loads more Millionaire has been made there than here.

Time to let Millionaire bow out in my opinion. When the viewer at home can win more than any of the contestants have won this mini series it says it all really!

You know what I really miss too? The contestant getting the little fanfare music and walking down the corridor. Now Chris just seems to boot them off stage! Laughing
