The end of Spain's Million Pound Drop

[Deleted]

Yesterday, September 8, a game show came to an end. I'm talking about "Million Pound Drop" (in spanish: "Atrapa un Millón").

It started in 2010/2011, in primetime version, hosted by Carlos Sobera (same host as 2001 and 2005 spanish versions of WWTBAM, here is a post talking about him: regisfan.proboards.com/thread/2403/carlos-sobera-spanish-version-wwtbam/ ). The maximum prize was 1,000,000€ (25,000€x25). In cash.

Then, in 2012, the daily version started. The maximum prize was 200,000€ (5,000€x50).

In 2013, the primetime version ended, because of low ratings. Months later, they did a primetime special called "Atrapa dos Millones", in which the maximum prize was 2,000,000€ (50,000€x25).

Months ago from today, only one couple won the maximum prize in the daily version. There was no winner in primetime version.

And then, it ended. 3 and a half years of a wonderful game show that now is gone.

The Million Pound Drop was a good gameshow, however it can never even be compared to Millionaire similar to Regis with the Million Dollar Password in a way. Interesting facts you have given! However I do feel that in the UK Davina lacks the personality of a good Gameshow host, and doesn't create drama and suspence like Millionaire. Even the set isn't dramatic with the massive Red screens

Yeah, it will never be compared with WWTBAM in any way. Here you have photos of the two spanish sets of TMPD:

Personally, I like the first set. The second one looks... cheaper, but nice nonetheless.

I do prefer the second set. For me, it looks more epic to watch, and also very brilliant to hurt your eyes. (sorry bad english, i'm spanish  ^^')

Also, in EVERY SINGLE episode, the majority of the audience was people of 60-70 years old. It happens in every single spanish game show. An example of that is the spanish version of "Who's Still Standing". I'll talk about it in a separate post.
