It was a good episode but it didn't have the same atmosphere without the audience. Interesting that the celebrity is able to bring along the 'smartest person' they know to help with the first 10 questions.

Is there any episodes during the 8 episodes that have an audience?

Full episode? That'll have a copyright strike by the end of the day.


It's a really weird thing with Millionaire. There's "fan channels" that upload the full episode, putting their own logo over ITV's (or Challenge in the case of old ones) and going as far as changing the credits to thank themselves for graphic design and editing, as if they own it or were involved in some way with it's creation.

And yet they don't get taken down. Never seen it before with any other quiz show.

If you're referring to Ben Crowl, he's brilliant at what he does, and I'm sure SPT are aware of that, which is probably why his stuff hasn't been taken down.

Wow that was all over the place, it felt like a dodgy pilot compared to our Clarkson version but then again Chase USA always felt a little ‘off’ too

Did they REALLY just use the ‘getting the £1m question right’ music cue for the purpose going into one of the breaks?! Wow...

Not sure if the celebrity pals being sat apart was normal or if it was just due to social distancing, the lack of audience didn’t feel too weird

The $32,000 disclaimer was very weird, so basically it’s just a chat show for the first 10 questions...

Well the point of the first 10 question is just to qualify for the bigger money of course and failing to answer a question right means you lose that chance so there is an element of jeopardy. For that reason it’s very unlikely to see anyone take the money before the 32k milestone. Of course I think they’re banking on viewers not picking on that disclaimer at the end.

I think it was always the plan for the celebrity’s guest to sit in the FFF position as that is how the set was built before the decision to do audience social distancing was made.

Lovely attention to detail, even down to the correct era ITV logo being on the office wall.


I’ve just saw a clip of Quiz on a BBC Scotland programme where WWTBAM is being pitched to ITV in the boardroom complete with 90’s ITV logo on the wall. Seems the attention to detail is spot on.

Which 90s logo though? If it's meant to be from when WWTBAM was pitched, they'd still have been using the IT* logo. The 1998 ITV logo wasn't introduced until after the first series of WWTBAM had aired.

Yes it was the logo used between 1989 - 1998.

The trailer for Quiz being shown on ITV features the late 90s (blue and yellow) logo on the wall in the boardroom.

So that wasn't the scene from the trailer, which used the 1998 logo?

EDIT: Beaten to it.
