Question about UK Millionaire CD

[gtbecbp]

The CD is incredible, and speaks to that game show geek in all of us.

I can see another TV being destroyed, and Craig walking into the TV shop..

"There's that guy AGAIN!! How many TV's does he go through??" [/quote]
 Back on ATGS we had a guy who destroyed his phone every time he lost the Millionaire phone qualifier.  Craig's just following in that grand tradition. :-)

I bought this sucker yesterday and eagerly await its arrival.  Thanks again for posting the link.

 Maybe he and Craig are somehow distantly related...

Seems like a lot of people on this board could be accused of being related....

 I'm inclined to agree. My guess is that they really wanted to get that dance mix on there, and in order to do that some cues from the ACTUAL production CD had to go to fit the whole schmiel into 76 minutes. Totally worthwhile trade, IMO.

(Do we have anyone here who works for an ABC affiliate? Did the network send production music CD's out to the affils? When I was at Fox we used to get production music for everything, most notably the sports packages. Unfortunately in those days CD burners weren't as ubiquitous as they are now, so I had to record them to tape.)

I personally do NOT want to hear it on air because it would upset me very much so.

If a guy on a game show losing would upset you THAT much, I suggest psychiatric assistance.

And "WWTBAM" fans may want to seek out a CD single of the dance mix of the theme--besides a short and long version of the dance mix, it includes the "Chris Tarrant Mix," with Chris' catch phrases (some of which, of course, are Regis' catch phrases) mixed in--including "Let's play 'Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?'", "Would you like to hear a 50/50?", "Is that your final answer?", "You've won 32,000 pounds--BUT WE CAN'T GIVE YOU THAT!" and the (then) simulated "YOU'VE WON ONE MILLION POUNDS!"  Amazon did have it, and it's probably on EBay somewhere.
