Great news! Thanks for sharing. For those who are interested, "Quiz" will also be premiering on AMC in the US at the end of this month.
I've been catching up on UK Millionaire, and I've got to say that this is one of the very best versions of the show. I cannot understate how great I think Jeremy Clarkson is as the host.

Wow. What a final episode. Thank you, MostWanted.
I admire the guts all three contestants displayed. Nina’s gambling caught up with her, but props to her for someone who ran out of lifelines at £16,000 and went for it all the way until question 13 when she stopped, a memorable contestant, in my opinion. Is it guts or greed? Maybe it’s both, maybe a sense of invincibility, but taking risks is part of what lands somebody a payday on this show to begin with.
Dan, also, showed a lot of guts.
I’m actually pretty relieved knowing how tough all of this is, that somebody made it to the final question and would’ve given the right answer if he didn’t stop, seeing a bunch of £1,000 winners on the penultimate episode and how everything is on hold now because of the virus. It’s nice to see the last of the contestant of the series walk with six figures with all that has gone on. I knew the £250,000 right away, though I thought Hannibal on the £125,000. Jenny would’ve gotten the 13th question correct had she gone for it.
Overall, I’d say it was a memorable series for all the right reasons, and I like how polished Jeremy looks as host these days. RegisFan is correct, and I think Jeremy provides more than just comic relief.

WWTBAM UK does RERUNS now EVERY TUESDAY AT 8PM.
Right now, as i'm writing this, the first episode of 2019 (Series32 , January 1, 2019) is airing!
And if i'm not mistaken and they carry on chronological week by week, they have like 25 episodes until they are at the end of the most recent series (34).

TruelyMostWanted As always, thank you for what you do. I am enjoying my evening watching UK Millionaire. I'm not sure how else I would get to see the show, if not for you. For me, the UK version is the superior version (currently), it's so good.

Reddit. It’s always reddit. Should be the standard answer now; “is ... available to watch somewhere?”. “Yes. Reddit”. |

I see quite a few comments that people are critical that the contestants always have good paying jobs, such as doctor, teacher, etc. Is this correct? I'm just wondering what people think about this, for discussion sake, if it's a good idea, or not such a good idea.
I mean, it is a quiz show. It is a general knowledge show. I've seen people on quiz shows before who weren't working at the moment for whatever reason. I don't really know about the inner workings of how this stuff goes, but just because somebody is smart, per se, doesn't mean they have a vast general knowledge. Furthermore, a contestant could have a low-paying job but may be able to do very well on the show. I mean, what if the next Million Pound winner is out there, but he or she doesn't have a high-earning job?
I'm only posting this for discussion sake and something to talk about while the show is on hiatus. I would to see if any of you agree that that is a tendency of the show, if there are merits to complaints I've seen on places like Twitter and YouTube, or if it isn't.

UK aims to go back to the studio next month (hopefully)
However they have to think about recording without an audience & adding a lifeline as replacement there

This is a great opportunity to add Double Dip!

It could be fun if they added a ‘Revive’ Lifeline (Power Paplu). If a contestant used ATH on a geography question and a 'car' question comes up, they could ask Jeremy again, and it would make him feel less relaxed once regular ATH is used !  Or, they could allow the player to select an ‘extra lifeline’ among Double Dip, Flip the Question or Ask the Expert (a former millionaire winner or a chaser), like the choose your safety net feature, except that you would have to choose your extra lifeline before Q1. That extra lifeline could be called a 'helping hand' to differentiate it from regular lifelines, and it would be a nice reference to Millionaire's origins! Idolsfan  |

Hurrah!
Well, not so much about ATA.
I don't think Double Dip would really work for the UK version: the fact that 50:50 and Double Dip can be used together to guarantee a correct answer betrays the whole point of Millionaire.
Two Phone-a-Friends wouldn't be great either. Switch the Question was terrible. Maybe Ask the Nation could work (it was a special lifeline from 2003)?

Would be hard to do Ask the Nation unless it was a live episode, otherwise it would turn out like the ATA did back when they had AOL people giving answers too... and that didn't turn out well. |
