A little trivia relating to the tv programme.

I hear that the insurers of the American version were thinking of pulling the plug on it as they thought the questions were too simple. Didn't someone win $1,000,000 on a really easy question???

My US friend thought the UK version (unlike most of our television which she finds quite soporific) was much better - Chris Tarrant is very genuine - he makes the programme spin out to it's required length by offering contestants plenty of opportunities to change their mind but he does really appear to want them to win. No-one has won £1,000,000 yet, so it looks as if he's keeping the insurers happy.
