When Who Wants to be a Millionaire first aired it was extremely popular and had everyone talking about it! However the concept of the show has quickly become repetitive and once the first person won a million pounds I have rarely watched the show.

The show is now shown in many countries and begins with 10 contestants who are asked to put four items into chronilogical order with the fastest finger winning a chance to join Chris Tarrant for a chance to play the game! The contestant then tries to answer 15 questions in order to become a millionaire. The first few questions are always simple with 99% reaching the £1000 although they do get increasingly harder as the amount of money to be won goes up. I have only ever seen a couple of people who walk away with nothing. To be honest you have to be a bit stupid to.

The contestant also has three lifelines; a 50:50, ask the audience and phone a friend. The contestant can use these lifelines when they get stuck but they can only use them each once! The contestant has to time these right and ensure they can trust in the answer they get back as this has backfired on many occasions!

The show seems to be a good concept for a quiz show on paper but due to its long drawn out process which Chris does nothing to help it quickly gets boring after you have watched it a few times. Although they have tried to spice things up with Celebrity and charity versions of the show this does not really make it any better. I think they could maybe try to introduce new ideas to try to make the show different every time.

OK to watch a few times but really does get boring!
