Well, Episode 1 just ended. It was a really good one production wise. Money-wise, we got an £8000 and 2 £1000 winners (a woman first flunked out on question 7 after only using the 50:50 on the previous question and a man lost at question 6 without using lifelines) The studio looks amazing, but the graphics sometimes go from good (2010 Ask the Audience graph with blue background and golden pillars; 2010 Phone-a-Friend clock (no photos)) to downright DISASTROUS (the lifelines and the moneytree look particularly bad despite having the international "Flux" background). There was an editing error for a lights down cue. As far as the contestants go, the first one was WAY TOO SLOW (Name's Ricky) especially at question 5 (WTH MAN, YOU DON'T KNOW ABOUT STAR WARS?! Come on, just about everyone knows who Rey is...) The other two were much better, but rushed too much. Ask the Host music is ok, but the lighting is kinda weird, floating milestone is a nice idea. Jeremy is an AWESOME host. He kicked it off with "No Coughs" and it was all going upwards from there. Just great humor. Oh, and one last thing- no money straps and NO CHEQUES (Jeremy ripped up an old one), the money is transferred via e-banking like in India last year. Rating:7.5/10 (Great host, great studio, great intro, good new mechanics, average contestants, awful graphics)
