I quite enjoyed it considering it was '50/50' (groan) as to if he was going to take a punt on the question!

I witnessed a similar recording recently on The Jonathan Ross Show when he questioned Mel B about the goings on between her and Geri Halliwell.

There must have been a lawyers note at the end of the show which said the question needed to be worded differently so he recorded a different version which was dubbed on. I'm not sure I can say the original question on here but it was replaced with "you said you had a brief sexual relationship with Geri".

It's kind of interesting that they had the foresight at recording to know that they needed extra time for the final contestant and that the schedulers would put it out an hour later when it was broadcast rather than just give the show extra time.

To be fair there was nothing in the schedule really tonight that wouldn't have warranted Millionaire having a 75 minute slot.

I’m guessing they didn’t want to push the heavilly advertised royal doc back to 9:15

I don’t know when these episodes were recorded, but there was the time earlier in the series when it moved from being Sat & Sun to being Sun only which was suggested to be fairly a short notice change due to SCD/BGT scheduling, but was then referenced in the show.

I will be interested in seeing the ratings tomorrow for Millionaire and the royal doc - would both do well? I doubt it.

The same episode of Millionaire aired on Virgin Media Television in Ireland tonight but as one 75 minute episode starting at 9.00 pm.

And presumably with the references to coming back an hour later?

Yes, which was confusing until I looked up the ITV schedule and figured out why.

They had an ident and announcement before part 4 of Emmerdale tonight to warn of ‘scenes of violence’

Also noticed during one of the breaks they've made the Emmerdale McCain sponsorship stings into a full length advert too.

I'm sure that the advert and sponsorship stings came at the same time, just repurposed and repackaged.

These sponsorship stings have been running for a couple of years now though, and they've only just made them into an advert.
