I love watching WWTBAM from different countries all around the world. It is fun to see how they have adjusted the format of it to suit their country. One of my favourite foreign version of Millionaire in the Indian version "Kaun Banega Crorepati" I really do like the way they adapted the US clock version with their own graphics. One things that I have noticed is that most a different variation on the intro whither it’s the music or a different lifeline. My favourite intro of all time is the original Australian one. I love that they used different instruments in the opening cue and that a different logo from the rest of the world.
Another of my favourites is the original British version that was later used in the Russian version. The graphic were really amazing at the time and the music was instantly recognisable. The very intro that made WWTBAM what is was.
Sadly now almost all countries have the same introduction. Whither it is the “Hot Seat” version, the “Rave” version or in the US the “Super-mix” version. I would really like it if different countries would have their own different take on the intro. What is your favourite intro to Millionaire and why?

I personally like the rave intro. I've even made my own version of it. It is flashy, colorful, and fast. This intro gets me excited for the show. I also like the 10th Anniversary intro. It brought back good memories of the primetime version. I always found that the Australian intros were very creative. They had ideas that no one else have thought up of. Some of them are not on YouTube anymore but they inspired me to start making videos and making motion graphics. The 1st polish intro was and interesting one. The logo was completely different and it was a good idea. The US primetime intro was something that got me interested in Millionaire. Regis saying what happened last show and to me, it was something that also got me excited. The 1st years of the UK version were also the same, but I never lived there and YouTube didn't exist back then. Hot seat, similar to the rave intro, it was okay. The intro music for me doesn't say Millionaire in my perspective except for the french horn motif. I am not saying that Ramon Covalo's work is bad, I like his question beds, but some isn't like Millionaire. The syndicated millionaire intros. When first started, it was good. The later years before the clock, bland but quick. Clock intro. I like it. Flashy, and it looked cool. Shuffle intro. It's fast....I don't have much to say about it. Not boring but not too exciting either.

I love the crane shots of Super Millionaire, myself.

The original british intro is by far the best intro. I'd love to have it back, no matter how old it may look.

As much as I like the tension of the intro ABC Millionaire used later on, it's gotta be the original for me. The other intros around the world are good, but to me, there's just no comparison.
