Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? (UK version)

The UK version of the show was the country of origin that set the Who Wants To Be A Millionaire franchise. The first episode was aired on 4 September 1998 and is coming up to it's tenth birthday next year. Throughout its history, the show has been presented by Chris Tarrant, who is renowned for his quizzical facial expressions that don't give away the answer at all.

Original 'Ten Night' Experiment
Originally, the show was set up for a ten night series, that involved the public being able to play by picking up the phone and dialling '0841 44 44 44' and answering a question. Then randomly the computer will pick 100 and then the 10 that answer another question correctly will go through. The show proved to be popular so came back for a real series soon after.
