Who Wants to be a Millionaire

I've got it on in the background Greg, Clarkson is an absolutely dreadful host. He has got the intelligence and charisma of a rusty paperclip and that's me being polite. (p.s. I hope your placepots are going well ).

This bloke from Halifax

Hi Slippy
Been hopeless with placepots aswell

Might try my hand at football instead

Hope you been winning plenty

Roll on the 14th June for the World Cup

This show was interesting when but first started but it surely past it sell by date, wasn't it 1999 when it first aired?

I mean a million back them seems a helluva lot, now it seems like pocket change in the wider scheme of things, football for example, back them the record transfer was something like 32 million, now it's 197 million and nobody bats an eyelid at a 70 million pound defender!

Time for new ideas, or a Who wants to be a Billionaire.

when it first^

Agree
Should be who wants to be a billionaire with 10 lifelines
I might of applied then

Who Wants to be a British Citizen.

Win a passport.

thought Clarkson pretty decent tbf

well done Huddersfield while we here

soz

Agree with Capt ,Jezza has certainly made a Few funny comments over the Nights ,Not really a fan , as for the Contestants if That woman is qualified as  an English Teacher  ,Lord save our Kids

The thing about these quiz shows is that they prove how ignorant and stupid the general public are.

If I were on millionaire, I would be totally shocked if I didn't win the lot.

geography is my weakest subject but that was really easy

Cornish guy the other night... 'In which county would you find Blackpool Tower?'...
Struggled with the answer, didn't know where Hertfordshire is... Don't think it's in Kent...
Guessed at Lancashire.
Clarkson said 'People in Arizona know where Blackpool is'

Tbf, Clarkson isn't doing badly on the show, he's being himself.
Other countries have this show running (or did).. and most of the presenters try to imitate Tarrant,
and fail.
I'm no fan of Clarkson, but give him his dues, not a bad performance.

Clarkson
Theres a famous pic with a man wearing a bowler hat and an apple over his nose but its not called the son of man.
So she lost thoosands

£300 question last night he didnt know that either.
Knows nothing about Beavers

It would be good if someone could post all the questions that asked and their value for those that missed the show, then we could all have a go at them

btw it's much easier playing from home, I would imagine being in the hot seat for a lot of people they would turn to pot. Depends of life experience really.

Imagine if the question came up about coastlines

"Which English county has the longest coastline"

Apparently the official answer is Essex, most like me would hazard a guess at Devon or Cornwall.

All shows are on ITV player

Had to laugh at the Thunderbirds question; a guy in his 20's has no chance

I'd take the £100

I knew that one aspro

Me too!

before the answers came up!!!

21 Jan 2015 - Essex has a long and rich connection with the sea, a natural resource which has provided food and jobs for many over the years. But did you know that with more than 350 miles of shore Essex actually has the longest coastline of any English county.

25 Jan 2017 - Cornwall has the longest coastline (even without including the Isles of Scilly). Cornwall: 1086 km. Essex: 905 km. Devon: 819 km.

the big clumsy yellow thing

Game could so easily be manipulated though; just give young guys/girls questions like that and they are fecked!

What percentage of under-30s in Tyneside voted REMAIN in the Brexit referendum?

A) Under 25%
B) 25 - 50%
C) 51 - 75%
D) Over 75%

Johnizere - one factor to take in to consideration is where does the Thames Estuary become the sea? ie coastline or riverbank.


Also, below is a very good point made by a forumite named franzi who rarely posts:

Coastline lengths are hard to pin down - it depends how closely you measure them. This is a classic paradox which is explained by fractal dimension, and is true for many geographical boundaries.

In this case, knowing the answer which is expected, it is likely a very precise measurement of every nook and cranny would return the crown to the more obvious answer. This is because the expected answer has a 'smoother' coastline than Cornwall.

Where did they get this bunch of contestants ?! Quality standards seems to have slipped ! Seems to be a lot of lifeline usage pre-the £1,000 question.

They don't want people on who are intelligent because then they'd have to pay out more.

^ Current chap on there who continues tonight doing pretty well so far.......

Some time ago, long before he was on The Chase (when he was a school teacher). The Beast, Mark Labbett, was on Millionaire, and he only got to £32,000. (I was watching it a few wks ago, it's on YouTube.)

The fact that he didn't know the NHS was set up in the 1940s or that lupine means wolf-like, suggests his general knowledge isn't great.

No Cardiff  If Jez had said any to with the Balearic's to the woman last night she would have though he was swearing ..

Clarkson is better than Tarrant imo, Tarrant was a bit false, Clarkson is more natural, like or loath him.

The way Tarrant used to drag it out to build suspense was always too long as well.

Find Clarkson more Amuzing ,and has thrown a few Risque Quips in ,will be watching on Plus 1

best improvement in show is we no longer have to listen to the cheque gags,
he,s a cheque for 16 grand but we don't want to give you that one blah,blah
shows how things have changed quiz ,twitter police wise,tarrant never had to ask if the phone a friend had an itv rep in the room everytime it was used

cant believe no one especially the last 2 contestants win or ,lose didn't set or try to set the guaranteed amount at 64 grand,having a free pop at going from 64 to 125 should be the aim
another question are the audience advised not to guess if they have no idea or are them %.s based on everyone answering the question

Question for 125.00 k for the Bloke that lost his Leg by Loch Ness extraordinary

Fastest Finger First

Tedious - bring back Tarrant.

Clarkson agreed with the bloke that an ibex was a deer and he said that is the correct answer. Shame it is actually a goat

Funnily enough, before the options appeared, I thought an ibex was "a deery thing from Africa" (antelope).

When the options were shown, I also thought probably a deer but could be a goat.

Fookin Shockin

you should apply for the next series mate

If you have ever seen an IBEX you would never forget it ,a Dangerous Looking Basterd well worth steering Clear of

Absoulute Classic

As I said some very very Amuzing Moments

20 years time

I would give him a Series see how the Ratings went there is an Amount of uncertainty as to what he Might say at any stage

The best one when he Said to THE FFF contestants Get this right you Could live Like a Queen ..

With 5 large Drafty houses and an Aged Greek man in the Bedroom

And he Didn,t Quite Understand SCOUT MASTERS , men who spend their afternoons running around Fields with young Boys

It's on after the 9pm watershed. Was 8pm with CT.

A good point ,nevertheless CT was a bit More predictable

He certainly would not have told someone they had Won when they had Lost

Pure Class.
