Ah, it just occurs to me... have you noticed how in the odd-numbered years, that something bad happens in the world of Millionaire? (Apart from 1999, of course)

In 2007, Millionaire UK changed from the good old version to the new 12 question format with music not by the Strachans. 2003 was the Charles Ingram scandal. In 2001, Ed Toutant had to come back because of a $16,000 question. He won the $1.86 million though when they brought him back. Several contestants have left with nothing during odd numbered years but those really don't count against the show. I'd like to see the 50:50 brought in at the 25,000 level or move 50:50 back and make ddip at the 25,000 level.

Can you run through each odd-numbered year for us? I think I can! 2001: UK: Charles Ingram cheats his way to the £1,000,000 2003: Not too sure of what happened here... 2005: USA: Play-It! attraction at Disney-MGM studios ends 2007: UK: The original format is destroyed, replaced by new graphics and money tree 2009: USA: Ken Basin loses on the million dollar question; the original money tree is now completely lost; the Phone-A-Friend is gone And that's more or less what I know.

Well, I could say that in January 2003, WWTBAM was cancelled in Poland (it came back in January 2008), but that doesn't really change too much - there are about 100 versions worldwide and some get cancelled each year.

What, in Poland? Well, as I've said, it's back since January 2008 for almost 2 years now.
