Huzzah! After 5 years of extensive searching, I have managed to find a short clip of Lithuanian Millionaire, called "Kas laimės milijoną?". It doesn't have sound (sadly) and is only 5 seconds long, however, with the current status of this show's availability on the internet, this clip is a massive break through. If you're not aware, Lithuanian version of WWTBAM has been completely lost. Currently, there are no surviving videos of the show remaining, despite the show having massive success and airing for 4(-ish) years, from 2002 to 2005. I hope that this clip leads to, hopefully, re-discovering this long-lost version that I and countless other people have been seeking for for many years. Here is the clip:
This clip features the main stage of the set (notice the irregular shapes around the logo, almost like a curtain), a quick look at the upper part of the question/answer lozenges and the end part of the intro featuring a slick, never-seen-before (I think) animation of different parts of the logo forming into the full thing.

Hmm, I wonder why there isn't that much known information about it... this is really cool, I haven't heard of this version before.

This is great! I wonder why but all three Baltic countries versions of Millionaire (maybe except Estonia) have very few videos about them. I have seen only one footage of the Latvian version and this is the first time I see the Lithuanian version. The only solution left is to ask Latvians and Lithuanians if they have captures some of the footages at the time...lol

That's very interesting to watch! It's weird that they didn't seem to be using any question beds.

Hey, coming back from the depths of nowhere to tell you I've found some more visual material from the Lithuanian Millionaire! I have found a fan site of the game, dating back to approx. 2004, which contains some more info about the game!     Also, two images of the scratch lottery cards tied in to the game:   In addition to these images, there are some more files and images on the site I was not able to scrape out. If anyone could figure out how to scrape out links from these parts of the site I'd be extremely thankful! Computer GameVideo ClipsAnd the images (especially the one on the very right titled "Pinigu Medis" (Money Tree)) from here: Game RulesAnyways, hope to see more findings of this game soon! (By the way, the Latvian version of Millionaire was filmed in the Lithuanian set, so that clip that was posted before is also very interesting crucial visual footage of the set) |

Shamelessly bumping this thread, because: We found another clip!This clip comes from a Lithuanian TV Archive Facebook page, where, among other ads of the time, was this cool advertisement for the game. It's from 2004, so it features the second host of the show, Vytautas Kernagis. Anyways, here it is: Link!Original video: Facebook link of the TV Archives video. |

Hey guys, I'm so happy to announce that the TV station that used to host the show has finally uploaded some actual footage of the show! Namely, it is a 9-minute clip of an episode from the 2004 series! The clip features Fastest Finger First, where Danguolė Sirevičiūtė, a history teacher from Pabradė, was the only one to answer correctly on a history question. Then we see her first five questions, with the notable moment (and probably why this particular clip was chosen to be uploaded) being the Phone-a-Friend at the very end, who, after the host humorously introduced himself as being from the Society for the Protection of Animals and asked how many cats does she have, proceeded to tell him to "go f**k yourself" and ended the call. Here's the source link: play.tv3.lt/series/tv-archyvai,serial-2693537/kas-laimes-milijona-2004-m,episode-3301271 |
