IMO, that happened to the British version when they added the clock. (although maybe it happened when they started doing only celebrity specials.) EDIT: Actually, I'm not quite sure WHEN it jumped the shark myself. I'd probably say anywhere in the last five years, starting from when they dropped the first three questions and changed the music. |

This has to be one of the weirdest things to ever happen to Millionaire in any country. I would have loved to have been in the brainstorming session from which this idea came forth.

I'm pretty sure it was just an insomniac producer who started reading a dictionary at 4am. "Panda...no, panic...no, pansy...? Nah. PANTOMIME! That's it!"
And it's with David Hasslehoff! He's not even dressed as a lifeguard, no, he's a pirate. You know that a show is dead when they invite the Hoff.
UK Millionaire has officially become a joke now. They could have ended it with dignity, but showbiz isn't like that I guess.

What? THE David Hasselhoff?! I wouldn't be surprised if they shoehorn him into the last game!

My thoughts are with everyone affected by the #ParisAttacks. Isis need to be eliminated. NOW.

According to Buzzerblog, "this show will be the last one to be recorded at their permanent studio at Elstree after staying there for over thirteen years. On Thursday 20th December their live Christmas special will be broadcast from their new studio home at BBC Television Centre."
I don't know if something will change on the set.

Oh wow. I hope they don't change the UK set. It is honest-to-God perfection the way it looks right now.

On the bright side, that means I can visit the studio whenever I'm in Salford!
