Super Millionaire usage on UK Millionaire
« on: October 23, 2004, 07:14:13 PM »
Tonight on UK Millionaire? involved a new competition where at some point in the show Chris Tarrant will give out a question exactly to the one a contestant answered or passed where the viewer must text in their choice within a 30 second time limit.

With the rollover contestant he passed on the £32,000 question where that question was used after he decided to leave with £16K the phone number was given and gave the viewer 30 seconds to text in where within that time there is a mini 30 second clock as used for PAF & TWM but used in the middle of the question display as with the TWM and DD lifeline use. Within that 30 seconds the studio does a pan around while playing the same soundtrack used on the 30 seconds for the TWM lifeline. After the time limit the correct answer was given.

Although it's a good idea it does waste a good minute as the viewer question could be used as a good ol "We'll take a break" question as this happened later in the evening (Where the Germans adapt this for their version). However its nice to see some of the Super Millionaire elements brought in plus it could also add more tension if a contestant has to wait another minute before the answer is revealed.

Unrelated point:  There was a question on the googol again -- this time on US Meredith Millionaire.  But it was a $16000 question on how many zeroes the googol has.
