This is absoulutely fantastic, pylguy! The quality is fantastic, and in 16:9 to boot! (At least, the second episode is.) I really can't wait to see Fiona Wheeler's episode in good quality.

I must say I have to agree with futuregshost, even though the 2nd episode basically is stretched up, the quality it really good. I can't wait to see more episodes especially Episodes 3+ that I haven't seen yet.

In the credits, does anyone know why they are using the rave closing cue?

You are a marvel, pylguy!

Very fun to watch these first five shows! I find it funny that they really hadn't gotten the hang of the music yet. It's all over the place.

Also interesting in Episode 4:

Chris blatantly cheating to give a contestant an answer. "I can't help you, but C is good."

I think Chris wanted them to get some cash just before the klaxon, that is, if we're thinking of the same moment, also the question was so easy I don't think it would have made a difference

pylguy, will episode 6 be available anytime soon?

[pylguy]

Yes I should have it up by tonight, I have it on my computer but my converter is not working. I'll try it again later.

They played the "special" Q15 Final Answer at the 32 grands question in episode 5

Thanks for uploading these episodes! It's very interesting to see all of the technical problems, especially concerning music, there are several times when two cues are overlapping or not playing, but that's what makes watching the first series so interesting!

I actually enjoy seeing and hearing all of the issues. I find these much more entertaining than the current US series. I'm not sure what it is, but I'm guessing it's because of the old format.

[kplewisvox]

Agreed. You always think of Millionaire as this polished work of art, and you don't realize that it didn't get there overnight.

What I'd like to know is when "final answer" became the definitive lock-in. You hear it occasionally in these first few episodes, but not with any regularity.
