Millionaire has been delayed once again. Many thanks to the Game Show Marathon & The X-Factor.

It looks 100% certain that the regular run will now start on 5th November. Perhaps ITV didn't want the Game Show Marathon & Millionaire to run back to back every week.

To be honest quoting someone else earlier on Millionnaire would need much more than a new set and graphics to gather more intrest.

After all i think many people have lost intrest in the program. The program makers i think after Millionnaire being so long on air have to do something to change the gameshows complextion so it attracts more people to watch it.

To be perfectly honest i'd rather see Ant & Dec's Saturday Night Take Away or A New Celebrity Series of Stars in your eyes

Has anybody even realised that Classic Millionare is constantly shown on Challenge?

The thing about Millionaire is that once somebody won the jackpot the show lost that must see factor; also they destroyed it by putting it on too often. In the old days it would win it's timeslot all the time now it just limps along and more often than not gets beaten.

Can't believe they axed Winning Lines as it did quite well for them. Mark Durden-Smith is a BAAAAAAD choice he just has no personality.

Isn't that what is exactly happening now.

There hasn't been a regular episode since the start of June so that'll be 5 months off the screens, probably the longest gap since it first started.

I think this shows that WWTBAM will no longer be a permanent fixture in the schedule about 8 months of the year and will be dropped for other programming

Yes, but even though the last series ended in June and then we had 6 weeks of Dr Fox (which was pretty naff to say the least), we then had quite a few Millionaire Celebrity Sepcials REPEATED which was completely unneccessary. And then, a week after these finished, I think, another NEW series starting off with 2 more celebrity specials.

You can't really say that Millionaire has had a good 5 month break now can you??? Rolling Eyes
