Is that your final answer? Are you sure? Not C? You’re only 5 questions away from £1 million. You had £16,000 … you’ve now got £32,000. Well done audience. But we don’t want to give you that. It’s only easy if you know the answer. This is the last point at which you could go away with nothing.
Chris Tarrant has really started to annoy me now on Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? Every single programme is exactly the same – with Tarrant saying all the same annoying catchphrases of his with absolutely no variation.
I know that it is necessary for Chris Tarrant to put the contestants in two (or four) minds about the answer to the question, but this doesn’t mean he has to insult the intelligence of the potential millionaires. The following is something similar to how one question may go: -

Chris Tarrant: Ok, this is your first question for £100. Remember, it’s only easy if you know the answer.
What is the longest river in Italy? Is it
A Po B Laa-Laa
C Dipsy D Tinky Winky?

Contestant: It’s Po Chris.

Chris Tarrant: Are you sure?

Contestant: 100%, Chris.

Chris Tarrant: Have you ever been to Italy?

Contestant: No.

Chris Tarrant: So how do you know then?

Contestant: It’s just one of those things that you know, Chris.

Chris Tarrant: Is that your final answer? Not the River Tinky Winky?

Contestant: I said it was bloody Po, didn’t I?
(I’m sure the contestant wouldn’t actually say this, but it's what about 99% would like to say)

The programme itself is probably the best thought out quiz programme of recent years, contestants having to answer 15 consecutive questions in order to win the £1 million top prize. They have 3 lifelines – “50:50” where two wrong answers are eliminated, “Ask the Audience
221; where the contestant can ask the audience or “Phone a Friend” where the contestant can, unsurprisingly, phone a friend.

Recently a relation of Camilla Parker Bowles became the first person to win £1 million and it remains to be seen how long before people get bored with Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?
