shit, middle east version of ''''Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? '' never ever losing the 2 first questions, the host helps you

@@kinuux It's the British version

Glib? Really? How do these people even get on this show?!

Honestly if you are from the Uk, which im guessing you are not most of these are pretty easy. Ive seen the people who have bombed out on the USA version and because im from the Uk they seemed impossible such as there was a question about 'Dennys' which ive never heard of and something about a surge protector for the very first question

I'm English and alot of them was hard

@@jameswest4692 yup, the questions are clearly culturally influenced

@@jameswest4692 how do you not know what a surge protector is?

@@TheCandoRailfan I am in England and for all i know i may be the only English person who hasn't heard of a surge protector (of course having seen the question some time ago i now know) I suspect its an American term. Here in my house we have a circuit breaker and that's the term i understand, if theres a spike in electricity it simply 'trips' a switch and turns everything in a particular room off. Ive never had use to buy an SP and if youve never had to buy one the chances are you havnt heard of it.

Yeah, the stats show, too. The US version had quite a few more millionaires, whereas in the UK version there's only been five.

For what it’s worth, £1,000,000 is more than $1,000,000.

Yeah. £1 = $1.28, so £1,000,000 = $1,275,600.

Doesn't make "Which of these isn't a Pokemon" worth £392,181, though.

Was that actually a question? And one of the last ones, too?

it's for getting in and playing

LMFAO

😂😂😂

The problem non elite stsndard contestants who appeared on the show looking just to win a few thousand is the general assumption that all of the first 5 questions were easy (the continuous music before ￡1000) that when a tricky one comes up (depending on who got through fsstest finger first. Any elite level contstants sail through to the ￡1000 easy) they took a random guess if they didn't know the answer to try to save a lifeline for later to not be considerd stupid for using a lifeline "on an easy question" to get to the￡1000 by millions watching even though a lot of those millions probably didn't know the answer and/or one of the other 5 questions. "Oh, how did he not know that" even though it was not an easy quedtion. I doubt anywhere near almost all of those watching saying that knew the answer to the Jane Austen question.

Yeah I've just noticed that especially when the the man got question wrong about Jane Austen. Novel tbf I didn't know the answer to that but when Chris said are you sure I knew the answer would be wrong .

Acer Ace just noticed this your totally right😂👍

@albert fish the answer only shows on Chris's screen after the final answer has been locked in, therefore he can't give any help or hint.

Welcome to Europe we don't need that fake smile

I was a big part of the theatrics of the show back then. Chris torturing people by putting doubt in their minds.

Having read accounts of contestants on the show though, the US version is edited, and they regularly can ask the producer / runner to stop the show or pause. What therefore can be only 10 to 25 seconds on screen may have been a minute or two. In contrast the UK version only pauses at fixed points where an advert break will show (a hangover from when the very early episodes were live).

​@@Luic1987None of the early episodes were live. They were recorded a day or two ahead.

isn't there a time limit or something on the american one that we don't have here??

its the US pressure they put on themselves to be assertive, to not lose face. Its taught in them from grade school. Dont be a loser, hide your weaknesses with confidence, noise and bravado, take control. Whereas Brits love "ummm" to start a sentence, hesitation, but the extra time thinking generally gets better results.

Some of these are the million pound question in the US 🤣🤣🤣

They're incredibly easy.

Pressure probably. Or maybe just the way it was worded was confusing to him. Poor chap.

He was obviously thinking about 'Weather Front' without properly thinking the question through.

The weather question was poorly worded in my opinion. The options weren't very fair... I thought it was front myself. What a stupid, nasty question that was!

@@connorwatson7823 I agree mate. Dodgy question that I'd have been well pissed off.

I guess the lesson is, if you don't know the answer even in the earlier questions, is to use your lifelines instead of just guessing and making yourself look a right twonk. God only knows how any of these won the 'fastest finger first' round! They must have entered a random order immediately and hoped for the best!

Why would a guy know something like that? I assumed the same thing the guy did, and would have been wrong too. I just assumed that she must be the author of Jane Eyre having heard both names. It turns out that was a different woman around the same time. I would say the question deliberately set up to cause someone to fail, which seems fairly unethical to me, since other people get no truck questions like that for the whole playthrough.

He basically told him it was wrong

That's why lifelines are there, to help during struggles.

@@mediaproductions6679 you don't waste your lifelines before 2 thousand. No chance for the million then.

You say that, but the 5th millionaire in the UK version, Ingram Wilcox, used a lifeline on his £1,000 question, and then proceeded to make it all the way.

Questions about TV shows shouldn't show up until around 8,000.

The months question I got and the bishop/primate (after thinking about it for a few minutes) and the Frank Carson one (but only because I know who Frank Carson is). The rest of them would have caught me. I would have guessed Starsky and Hutch but the questions pre 1000 are meant to be obvious.

No wonder why that show got the can. Good news is that if you live in New Zealand, you're eligible to play the Australian verison.

I know this comment is quite old, but I did want to point out that there was a woman named Kristin Castle, she got up to the NZ$500,000 question, but she walked away with $250,000 - apparently that was a record win for New Zealand television 😄

u cant have wealthy Kiwis, theyd escape wearing a mask and all those lock downs.

fucking rip. press F to pay respects.

Can't say for her other questions because they aren't shown here but I agree on the question she got wrong. I've never watched any of those shows so I had no idea either. All I knew was that it wasn't Cagney and Lacey because I knew they were women. So I'd have to guess at the other three.

Must admit I knew this one only because I've seen Starsky And Hutch. But most off them admittedly are hard as.

She used 2 lifelines on the 500 question which is just a word definition question

The knuckle thing works best. The "saying" doesn't unless I'm missing the trick. The saying only works if you remember the words, which is the goal in the first place. Unless SAJN means anything... ha heck now it will me. "30 days hath fuck all, just remember Saturn pronounced by a Brit. SAJuN."

"Taciturn" ? "Primate against marsupial, rodent, carnivore' ? "Starsky and hutch" ? " LMAO.

Haven't watched the show for years, but I remember the first questions leading up to the £1000 mark were normally quite easy - hence why I think they ended up changing the format to limit the number of questions early before the first milestone. To be fair, I got all these right, but they were harder than I remember pre-£1000 questions normally being. And I agree, the 30-day/month question was easy. Even if it's not almost instantly apparent, you should be able to work it out easily enough, especially if there's no time limit.

2nd question was piss-easy. Especially after 50/50 lifeline.

FFS ... these were simple especially if you are into quizzes with the possible exception of the one about the prevailing weather which was poorly worded and open to misinterpretation.

@@DrunkChimp You're telling everyone how thick you are. Some things are best left unspoken.

That's the only one I knew.

only got it becasuse i think the others were female

Some of them would doubtless be easy to people of a certain age/generation, but basically a complete guess to a younger generation. Funny how that works in this game show.

How is this hard? I did it based on process of elimination because I didn't think the others were real characters.

I’m 23 and even I knew this. The names of Starsky & hutch is pretty iconic. They stood out like a needle in a haystack as the obvious answer

I only knew the bishop/primate one because I read a sci-fi book recently where they were talking about the "Grand Primate" or something similar, and I thought "Wtf is that?" and looked it up. That seems quite obscure to me, but perhaps to an older UK generation it's quite common knowledge.

Its hard to say. We are 20 years removed from these questions being asked in places, so its entirely appropriate that some of these that are entirely culturally appropriate for the time but baring the date question, the rest of them weren't things I would personally expect anyone to know.

These am 16/32grand questions lol

@@johnmartinez7440 you don't know your months of the year?

I would have guessed Glib as well because Taciturn is word I've never used before. I thought glib meant succinct so to me that would have been close enough to go with it. Booted off stage. I don't think I could handle the pressure of that show.

Most of them questions were easy

I just saw that clip! Why would you have electrical appliances being mixed with water flow? Of course it's electrical current!

@@Me-ui1zy Where are you, the Caliphate? 😄 I knew that answer but even if I didn't surely one could deduce it from the options available.

Starsky and Hutch was the only one I had even heard of (as a Frenchman) and usually for the first questions it's always the absolutely super obvious world-famous answer (if the others even exist)

They were all insanely easy.

@Sad Englishman I would say a question that is widely known, like what colour is an orange, is general knowledge.
