Didn't enjoy it as much overall tonight as last night because I thought some of the questions seemed a bit too obvious but the tension for the final question made up for all that. Like it or loathe it, it certainly made for gripping TV. I would also agree the interactivity aspect has been very well executed, you can forgive all the plugs on air when the online feature is so superb and enhances the show.

Makes it sound good too when they can claim viewers at home have staked billions of pounds on an answer.
The question difficulty level is the main problem that needs to be addressed - on the whole it's mainly educated guesses, and I do think it' actually mixes things up a bit throwing an easy question in the middle of the game somewhere, when contestants are probably beginning to doubt their own name.
The first question though of the last couple last night was far harder than any of the first questions earlier in the week, and indeed more difficult than most of the questions in general. To get the right answer you needed knowledge of the question really, not just an educated guess.

Questions do need sorting out I agree. Last night's "Science" question was infact more History related, asking which science event came first.

I think some of the questions are really good. I like the ones that rely on the show being live.
The question last night "Which film starring Sarah Jessica Parker was just advertised in the last ad break?" was an odd one. I am surprised they were allowed to reference an advert like that. I guess the multiple choice element of the question meant they also mentioned films that were not advertised in the break and therefore the film that was advertised (Sex in the City 2) was not given undue prominence on the show. It seems there are unwritten rules when it comes to films anyway and television shows can get away with promoting them in a way that they wouldn't be allowed for any other product. Either way, asking it in this way made it more interesting than "Which recent film stars Sarah Jessica Parker?" which is the question the contestants were answering anyway, having presumably not been in a position to watch the advert break in question.
It turns out on the first show that the question based on Graham Norton's Twitter feed was actually based on a fake account...

That means there is someone out there pretending to be Graham Norton...

What kind of sick minds are we dealing with here? Why would someone do that?
Anyway, the show is on half an hour earlier on Saturday but is also up against Eurovision. I wouldn't be at all surprised if the show creates a big winner on it's final night.

A complete game could be played in 10 minutes if they really wanted to, so they will either pad it out or quicken the pace as required. There is no harm in a little overrun either, that always makes things more exciting.
Going to be interesting on Saturday how they wrap things up if the first set of contestants are eliminated around half way through - far too much time left just to have filler, but not enough to allow for a complete game.

Like? I doubt 10 minutes Is possible, 20 is stretching it.

I am playing online tonight does I need to have the tell in the same room all does the qustion come online as well

I guess you could play along without watching the television, but wouldn't that be a bit boring? You would basically be spending an hour answering only 9 or 10 questions with long gaps between them where nothing is happening. You couldn't even do something else at the same time because you might miss a question. You would need to stay looking at the same webpage for an hour and the most you will get out of it is one million virtual pounds.
