Default Who Wants To Be A Millionaire.

Saw it this evening.

It was excruciating.

The contestants went away with a total of less than £20K.

Tarrant gets paid more than that per show.

Contestants were not prepared to gamble- you won't get the same chance.

Bloomin boring programme.

What do you Chatters think about this programme in general?

Ipositively hate this programme-it has got so predictable and utterly boring. There's nothing else I can really say.

Ok- Chris Tarrant is a No good, Womanising P*g and I really can't bide people that cheat, so I wont watch it on principle.

Not to beat about the bush .... Chris Tarrant gets on my tits, he's an utter bore. I can't abide the way in which he delays the answers, all in the cause of not having to give too much money away of course.

the principle is good but maybe it needs a new and younger presenter as Tarrant has definitely exceeded his use-by date

I used to like the show. It has however suffered since Celador sold it. Tarrant is treading water just taking the paycheck. Like most things in tv these days they would rather flog an old worn out horse to death than show some innovation and take a risk on a new show.

Used to really like the show but its boring now, like sooty says its time it was laid to rest and something new brought in.

I used to far prefer the US version that just gets on with it instead of repeating everything four times. I'm sure it's done to ultimately reduce the payouts.
