For getting each question right they move up in the money amount. Other big money amounts in the show include 75,000, and 50 grand which can be earned to.

I would be very surprised if there's anyone reading this who hasn't heard of this program before because it seems to be a household name. Arguably not as popular as it once was, it's still going strong years after it first hit our screen years ago. Little has changed about the show, with the exception of the number of questions per contestant, so it retains its classic appeal. 'Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?' is hosted by Chris Tarrant and is currently shown on Tuesdays at 8pm on ITV. This is a quiz show, one which was quite unique at the time it first aired because of its format and the huge sums of money up for grabs. In addition to advertisements, the show ...  Read the complete review

This is a game show presented by Chris Tarrant that has been running for around 10 years in the UK. The original format was that of 15 questions to be answered correctly to win the top prize, more recently however these questions have been cut down to a 12 question format. Throughout the game each contestant has 3 lifelines which they can use if necessary, these are: phone a friend, 50/50 and ask the audience. There is also a celebrity version, which is also entertaining and the money won (if any) goes to a charity. This is one of the few gameshows that I thoroughly enjoy. I do not find it to be tacky or to be a chance game. It is more ...  Read the complete review
