Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?(1998)

Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? is a British game show where contestants answer general knowledge questions under pressure to win a £1 million jackpot. The format became a global phenomenon after its 1998 debut, testing players' wits across a range of topics while they navigate an escalating series of increasingly difficult queries. Contestants can use three lifelines—phone a friend, ask the audience, or 50/50—to help secure their prize. Chris Tarrant hosted the original run, becoming synonymous with the show's tense, dramatic atmosphere. Jeremy Clarkson later revived the series for a new generation, maintaining the format's core appeal: the thrill of high-stakes trivia and the possibility of life-changing winnings. The show's simple yet compelling structure has made it a fixture of television worldwide.
