Hehe I was either very young or not born yet, but I've seen old clips
:)  He's a good chap most of the time (thinking "Tarrant on TV" here)
but I still find him irritating on WWTBAM and OnDigital adverts

I've heard for certain now... it's all our fault =)  The US
copied the idea - in fact I think it must be an international company
that makes the show, since all the graphics and the set are exactly the same.

Chris Tarrant is way out of Bruce's league... Bruce _really_ sucks :)

I  believe  it  was bought in from the USA, although I could be wrong.
There  aren't  many UK originated game shows - mostly the ones thought
up by Bruce Forsyth (Generation game, Play Your Cards Right) and Chris
Evans (Don't Forget Your Toothbrush).

Cheers,

Ha, sounds like it's a common idea :)
We have one in the UK called "Who Wants To Be a Millionaire" hosted by
an irritating man called Chris Tarrant.
You have 4 correct answers, 1 right, 3 wrong, in 15 total questions.
There are 3 "lifelines" as we call them, which are to phone a friend, ask the
audience or 50/50 (leave 1 right and 1 wrong answer).
It's too irritating to watch though, as the host sits there for a
minute asking "Are You Sure... sure sure... certain..." before letting
the player answer :)

The  when  where  one answers questions by choosing one correct answer
out of four? And where he has three "rescue wheels" to use?

If so, then we have it too :-)
