Who Wants To Be A Millionaire
About Who Wants To Be A Millionaire
Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? is the multi-award winning television show which launched on ITV1 in the UK on September 4th 1998 and is hosted by Chris Tarrant.
Ten contestants face the "Fastest Finger First" round where they must race to rearrange four answers into the correct order. Whoever does so in the quickest time goes through to the Hotseat to play for the incredible top prize of £1 Million!
In the high-pressure Hotseat, the contestant faces a money tree of increasingly difficult general knowledge questions.
The contestant has three Lifelines: Phone-A-Friend, Ask The Audience and 50:50 - and two "safe havens" where money they've earned is protected.
At any point, having viewed a question, the contestant can choose to walk away with any money they've won. But if they decide to play, and tell the host, "That's my final answer", then their answer will either take them through to the next question worth double the previous question, or send them out of the Hotseat with their winnings plummeting by thousands!
There have been 5 million pound winners in the UK: Judith Keppel, David Edwards, Robert Brydges, Pat Gibson and Ingram Wilcox.
In the celebrity specials celebrities play in pairs to win for their chosen charities. Celebrities that have been in the Hotseat include: George Michael, Simon Cowell, Jonathan Ross, Sir Terry Wogan, Piers Morgan, Lord Sugar, Will Young, Carol Vorderman, David Haye, Rupert Grint, Emma Watson, Vic Reeves, Bob Mortimer, Laurence Llewellyn-Bowen, Dermot O'Leary, Lesley Garrett, Paul O'Grady, Paddy McGuinness and Peter Kay.
In February 2006 Laurence Llewellyn-Bowen and his wife Jackie reached the million pound question. This turned out to be flawed, so they were invited back to play another million pound question, from which they walked away.

would be great if you could show Classic Millionaire episodes from series 1 in September 1998 because the really old classic game show episodes are sometimes the way to go on Challenge and I would really enjoy watching those episodes, having seen a few on YouTube.

these repeats of Classic Millionaire are starting to get tiresome. You must have some other episodes to show other than the 2003 ones. I know every single one of those episodes inside out and I don't want to see them for a very long time. I love Classic Millionaire but please show different episodes

I am really looking forward to Classic Millionaire being shown all day on Boxing Day from 9am to 9pm :D let's hope it's some 2004 and 2005 episodes. I would be overjoyed. good work Challenge. I'm pleased with that :)

when are you going to show series 15, 16, 17 and 18 of Classic Millionaire again? you are being constant with series 20 now. it's getting tiresome. i wanr to see some episodes that i either haven't seen before or haven't seen in years. Please see what you can do. Thanks

and PLEASE see if you can get Classic Millionaire episodes from series 1 (1998), Series 2 (January 1999), series 3 (March 1999), and series 4 (September 1999). would be perfect to be shown on Challenge. It will mean people get a chance to see those new episodes coming up when the show is in it's modern days, PLUS people get a chance to see what it was like when it first started in it's heyday. Will be amazing. Please see what you can do. Thanks
