"Who Wants to be a Millionaire?" is arguably the best TV game show ever. It's simple, very interesting, quite entertaining and always pleasant to watch. But what really makes this so distinguish from other game shows is that it is all about culture. The aim of all those questions isn't just to offer unbelievable cash prizes, they also teach us many things. Another reason why this is my favorite quiz show is because, when I don't know the answers to the questions, I can "take risks" and try to guess the answer. Sometimes my choice is correct, sometimes it isn't. I might not win anything, but I've also got nothing to lose. Life is a game, you know? C'est la vie!There is no limit time to answer the questions. Contestants are given the chance to think for a while and make decisions. They can try to guess a question and take a risk (with lots of suspense before knowing if the answer is right or wrong), they may chose not to try and give up (and receive their cheque) and they can use 3 helps: Fifty-Fifty (50/50) (the computer eliminates two of the incorrect answers, making things easier); Ask the Audience (the contestant asks the studio audience which answer they think is correct and their votes appear on the contestant's and host's screens); Phone-A-Friend (to phone somebody who might know the answer to a question).I don't agree with some of the game's rules. For example, I think it's unfair that, before reaching the next level, if a contestant fails the answer he/she loses all the money won and only wins a certain sum. The best part of the questionnaires are when a certain sum of cash is guaranteed.I appreciate the way how the host makes the contestants feel more comfortable in public and in front of cameras and lights, so that they feel less nervous (by talking a lot and saying some jokes and laughing). This is a great challenge. Contestants must answer correctly 15 multiple-choice questions of increasing difficulty to win the maximum prize in cash.Overall, a brilliant quiz show. Definitely great, interesting, original and one that everybody should watch.

They have done many specials, e.g. twins, mums and dads with their kids, and celebrities for charity, but most of the time, I like the original award winning game show. There is no-one in this country, or the world, who doesn't already know the answer to the question given in the title. Chris Tarrant has presented since 1998, and it is still going strong. So far there have been four known Millionnaire winners with the £1,000,000 jackpot. Three of these are the first winner Judith Keppel, the obvious fraudster Charles Ingrim with his coughing friend, and old father Ingram Wilcox. I doubt this is going to end for a couple more years, because there are still so many Brits, and people in the world wide show who still want to answer yes to the question and play the game. Chris Tarrant was number 38 on TV's 50 Greatest Stars, the Christmas Special was number 69 on The 100 Greatest Christmas Moments, and the programme was number 16 on ITV: 50 Greatest Shows. Very good!

When WWTBAM was first broadcast in Britian it was the main talking point in the country . What a brilliant but simple idea for a TV quiz , answer 15 consecutive multiple choice questions with the difficulty in questions going up alongside the money . The nation started copying Chris Tarrant`s catchphrases: " Phone a friend , 50-50 " etc and what a quiz master Tarrant was as he continually put the contestants off :Nervous contestant : I think it`s B Chris . I`ll play . B Tarrant : You sure ? You`ll lose 15, 000 pound if you`re wrong . You`ve still got two lifelines left . 15,000 pound . You`ll loose that . Two lifelines you can use them if you want Then the nervous contestant would waste his last two life lines Tarrant : Final answer ? The correct answer is B . So you were right all along Cut to nervous contestant who`s just realised Tarrant has cost him his last two lifelines .Yeah this was a great show as was its format of being on 8 consecutive nights then off air for about 6 weeks then on for another 8 consecutive nights but then ITV decided to put on 3 times a week from late Summer to late Spring WWTBAM never seemed to off the screens which meant a lot of people including myself became very fed up with it . The producers vainly tried to spice it up with charity editions and couples editions before switching to showing only one episode a week , but too late they`d milked the idea for what it was worth and that`s what killed the show along with Tarrant spending too much time talking to the contestants and it`s only a matter of time before it`s cancelled for good R.I.P WHO WANTS TO BE A MILLIONAIRE

I watched this show from about it's third episode and from then on I've been transfixed. Of course now its gone on to America where it will probably become most famous but it started right here in the UK where its still the best, in the US the questions are far too easy. The worlds greatest game show ever !
