- At long last…
Twenty years ago, Who Wants to be a Millionaire premiered for the first time anywhere in the world when it aired in the UK on this date in 1998. To commemorate the occasion, and as a thank you to all of my international subscribers WWTBAM here are shows from the Australian version of Millionaire that I know you, and even the die hards in the USA will enjoy (you'll see why). It's a little different… you'd never see from Regis what you see from Eddie McGuire (boy does he make you sweat!) but he's a fantastic host, and puts together a really fun couple of shows.
Enjoy!
So weird how different the editing is compared to USA episodes - especially the 2nd show - they chatted for like 10 minutes then went to break! That would never fly in the USA lol.
How boring are all Australian game shows. They are all trivial shows.
@@Untouchable_worldwide Ridiculous comment.
Josh G I get it! LOL!
yeah regis always gave at most 2 or 3 seconds before revealing answers
Even compared to the UK, it is drawn out. It's oddly interesting to see the wider thought processes of the contestants.
wow i've been looking for the Martin Flood footage for YEARS. thanks for posting
So gutsy going for the 125 and 250k questions without using the lifelines, considering he wasn't sure.
I'd had to Say, that is a 1 very Gutsy Move without touching a Lifeline that is the (50/50 and Phone a Friend) with a set amount of $125,000 for Question #12 was
(Which brand of Champagne is Sprayed from the Podium at Formula One Grand Prix races?)
A. Bollinger (Lose $32,000)
B. Moet & Chandon (Lose $32,000)
C. Mumm ($125,000)
D. Veuve Clicquot (Lose $32,000)
And Question #13 for $250,000 was
(Cecil Scott, were the First and Second names of which famous Briton?)
A. Cecil Day-Lewis (Lose $93,000)
B. Cecil Rhodes (Lose $93,000)
C. Cecil-Scott Forester ($250,000)
D. Cecil-Scott Lewis (Lose $93,000)
But he certainly did it the right way.
In Nigeria the answer reveal would be like this: The person who was never Time Magazine's Man of the Year was Ayatollah Khomeini, NO!!!!!
Also in India too.
I remember this it was funny
1:26:55 Mao Zedong his final answer said to Martin Flood his second million Dollar Winner
They started faking wrong answers at the 13th question
I'm surprised that the coach himself was in the audience on Martin's million dollar winning episode, and I'm even more surprised that what happened right after Martin's victory was one of those "Fastest Finger GONE WRONG" moments! This makes me somewhat thankful that this happened after the contestant AFTER Judith Keppel in the UK.
Happy 20th Anniversary to the Aussie Millionaire!
It was the 20th anniversary to WWTBAM as a whole.
1:13:06 "Just wanna ask you, you haven't got a cold or anything? Because, I'm telling you, if you cough, if you cough during this show..."
Wow The Aussie Version Of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?! I'm gonna have to check this one out. Thanks for uploading I enjoy your content.
Oh my God that horn means we're done
I really used to think before The Chase arrived in Australia, that Rob and Martin would become Chasers.
Seven did in fact try a "quizmaster"-style format with Martin Flood in "The Master" (2006) three years before The Chase ever existed.
@@timhalbert And IINM, "The Master" only lasted a single episode.
@@andrewschroy6368 acutally, the rest of the series aired later that year.
i think Eddie McGuire is the only host of "Who wants to be a millionaire" that is still going to this day. Lol
Happy 20th Anniversary of the original WWTBAM UK!!!!
I wonder if two people winning a million dollars within weeks made them change the format of the show to what hot seat is now
I doubt it. From the time Millionaire premiered in Australia in April 1999, it took 6.5 years for the first winner, then only another 4 weeks for the second winner. By the time the original run finished in April 2006, there had only been two $1m winners in 7 years, hardly a reason to panic over excess prize money expenses.
The reason why the show was cancelled was because Eddie McGuire was moving into his new role as CEO of Channel Nine and the network felt it was time to give the ageing format a rest. There was a void left with no hour-long Monday 8:30pm show for the rest of 2006.
Then in 2007, while Eddie was still CEO, he began hosting Millionaire's short-lived replacement 1 vs. 100. Later in the year, Eddie resigned as network CEO and 1 vs. 100 was cancelled. Millionaire briefly returned as a live edition and with a $5m top prize in late 2007, but Channel Nine decided against renewing the show in 2008. They instead tried Power of 10 with host Steve Jacobs, but that quickly faded from people's memories.
Meanwhile, the network had a problem on its hands. Its main rival Channel Seven had a ratings winner on its hands - Deal or No Deal with Andrew O'Keefe. It was constantly winning the crucial 5:30pm time slot since its move there in 2004 and Channel Nine was desperate to regain that top spot. The Price Is Right with Larry Emdur had that slot since 2003, but in a bid to win more ratings in 2004, it was moved forward to 5pm and Millionaire took its place at 5:30pm, which was turned into the old 30-minute daily format. That move backfired.
Millionaire returned to Mondays at 8:30pm, while The Price Is Right remained at 5pm, but was extended to an hour-long version with elements like the showcase wheel being added. After its interest waned by late 2005, Channel Nine replaced it with Bert's Family Feud in 2006 at 5:30pm. Initially, it was a huge success, but began constantly losing to Deal or No Deal in 2007. The network gave up on game shows in that time slot in June 2007 and stuck with broadcasts of BBC's Antiques Roadshow for about a year.
Channel Nine tried yet another format at 5:30pm in May 2008 with Million Dollar Wheel of Fortune with host Tim Campbell. That show did not even last two months and again reverted to Antiques Roadshow by July.
Say what you like about the Hot Seat format, but it proved to be the competitor to Deal or No Deal that Channel Nine had been looking for. While it did not always win the ratings at first when it premiered in April 2009, it was always a strong contender. Its faster pace compared to its predecessor was more compelling viewing. Perhaps it was its timing with Deal or No Deal becoming long in the tooth, but Hot Seat was the king of 5:30pm by 2013.
2013 was the year when the shoe was put on the other foot in Australia as Channel Seven looked to compete at 5:30pm with Hot Seat. The network premiered Million Dollar Minute with Simon Reeve in September 2013 weekdays at 5:30pm and relegated Deal or No Deal to 5pm for its last few weeks of new episodes until it ran repeats starting in October.
Million Dollar Minute's ratings were not poor, but were average and the show was axed in September 2015. Later that month, Minute and Deal or No Deal were replaced with The Chase Australia with Andrew O'Keefe. Thus began the most stable period in Aussie Game Show history with both Chase and Hot Seat now having run simultaneously for nearly 6 years.
So the Millionaire Hot Seat is different. So if you get a question wrong, the top prize goes down. From $1M to $10k. Also you can pass the question, but there’s a chance you may not get to answer the question. And here’s the catch. Let’s say if you go the way and you get the $250,000 question right, you win $1,000 no matter what. Then you have an opportunity to answer the $1M question. There are only 2 people who actually answered the $1M question. So there. That’s the difference.
Host has the charisma of your average news reader.
The hostess just like Chris Tarrant From the UK version of Millionaire
FUN FACT: Allegations of cheating (unfair play) marred Martin Flood's achievement;
but since he was found guiltless (cleared of any misconduct),
he was cemented as the last Aussie Top Prize winner
before the show switched full-time to the Hot Seat format in 2021.
20 years, damn I'm old lol
That moment when Quintus lays down the sword to show up to a television game show.
well he was a real gladiator here
Super Cool Episode. Yay! 💐
Happy birthday, millionaire!
Back in the day using November 2005 conversion he pretty much won like £420K.
F1 used Moet, then Mumm, now Carbon
I was a great fan of the UK version, being British. I was expecting the Australian version to be easier but maybe many things only Australians would know. I was WRONG. Your questions were very hard. Some excellent deductive reasoning. Holmes would be proud of you!
The Game Show Channel has more episodes of the U.K. version if you'd like to watch, but they are split in parts to avoid copyright.
I'm a little disappointed in myself - I like geography, and I had no clue on Martin's $500K question.
So 26, the Question was (How Many Independent Countries Border the Caspian Sea?), and the choices are A-4, B-5, C-6 and D-7. Martin Flood decided to Phone his former contestant Dave 3 Years Ago on Who Wants To Be A Millionaire who got stuck on the $300 Question, with this Question and went with B-5 and won $500,000.
I think this features the second winner of the Australian version of WWTBAM before Rob 'Coach' Fulton won AU$1,000,000.
Rob Coach is first top prize winner on australia
Robert Fulton was the 10th person to get to the million question and was the 1st person to win $1 Million
Martin Flood was the 11th person to get to the million question and was the 2nd person to win $1 Million
Edwin Daly was the 19th person to get to million question and was the 3rd person to win $1 Million
Craig Anderson was the 20th person to get to the million question
Antony McManus was the 21st person to get to the million question and was the 4th person to win $1 Million
Nobody was the 22nd person to get to the million question
Nobody was the 5th person to win $1 Million
well this is end i can say
Very informative! Thank you 😊
On 25/11 had it new top prize winners
1:26:57 Martin, you've won $1 million dollars!!!
10:59-50:07 Part 1 of Martin Flood's Run to Million
I’d watched this ep way back and had guessed #14 and #15 correctly .. The Time magazine question is actually easy if you know the criterion for POTY .. Its usually something or someone that has a global or regional impact on things ... positive or negative .. the Ayotollah’s rise after the revolution changed Middle Eastern politics but Mao’s reign essentially impacted only China and not the wider world
do you have more Australian episodes, but from its first three years (1999-2002)?
What an amazing strategy. Take a crack at it, if I’m wrong donate $32,000, walk home with $0, if I win, $1M
Wow. I did not think Martin Flood sounded like that, mate.
Interesting intro at the start. It’s like a money maze
Fascinating that there was a cough in the audience as soon as he mentioned Mumm 🧐 with the formula one question
Imagine if Martin flood was on the british version of millionaire hes the only calm aussie smart man and Martin flood should go on the chase and be called the master
1:09:06
Martin Flood: Final Answer...
Eddie McGuire: Final Answer. Is it locked in?
Martin Flood: ......
Alhough "Final Answer" is the popular catchphrase used for confirming the answer for the question in WWTBAM, saying this in the Australian version doesn't confirm the contestant's answer to the question right away, instead they say "lock in" to do it. That's why "lock in" is the catchphrase which is popularly used in the Australia version lol
1:34:36 Jeff Tarr would appear on the Millionaire Hot Seat version in 2009 and epicly fail on the Million Dollar Question.
Apparently Eddie thought this guy was cheating at first. They looked for a wire but couldn't find anything.
Major help here?! 31:27
Definitely. Another one at 40:32. You don't hear any other coughing during the episode.
I thought the same thing
16:03 Nice
Am I the only one that knows moet Chandon is the actual champagne used in formula 1 podiums ?
Any more Regis episodes coming up anytime soon?
That e=mc^2 Fastest Finger is so bad, lmao.
16:04 nice
Do you have any episodes with guest host Leeza Gibbons?
51:54 start of second show
1:13:07-1:13:15 eddy is throwing shots at the cheater Charles Ingram
1:12:12 Bewitched, you won a million dollars!!!!!!
Do you have any Chris Tarrant episodes of WWTBAM, WWTBAMclassics?
you could check Ben Crowl's channel for UK episodes
Isn't the million dollar question poorly worded? All but ninety or so people who have ever existed have never been Time magazine's Man/Person of the Year.
50:24 reminds me of those over-edited Indian Drama memes haha
What the hell is with wasting so much time? It took half an hour to do 2 questions!
1:43:38 end of shows
1:26:55 You won a million dollars!
Do you have a cold?
No I don’t have any COVID symptoms.
C S Forester wasn't his name at all, it was a pen name.
Do you by any chance have Tom Bolton?
Oh my, many interests in this show! :D (SPOILER ALERT)
- I've never seen a host in any kind of format cleaning the floor from confetti (in Hungary it's not relevant, we go /ok, went once/ for fireworks if the jackpot is won).
- Never seen this before but logically could answer Martin's last two question, believing that ANY of the Istans shouldn't be bordered with the sea, and known that each Hitler and Stalin didn't win a Time prize as well. Khomeini might did sg better well than Mao to do it.
- I defnitely believe that in any European formats, programme officer'd be SACKED for asking the host to order a break after answering the 15th question! :D :D :D
Chris Tarrant took a break after the contestant answered the 15th question twice.
Eddy was kinda working on my nerves, i understand you making a conversation, but still don't talk for the whole show without a question
Many Australian TV hosts and TV crew have gone to the US and are actually shocked that the roles are so segmented and people don't just help each other if needed, regardless of position. It's the Australian way just to pitch in and help out. It's the best way I can explain your first and third points.
Are you still going to upload videos?
Eddie McGuire: Okay well certainly not Trivial Amounts of Money were playing for, were up to $125,000. Which Brand of Champagne is Sprayed from the Podium at Formula One Grand Prix Races?
Martin Flood: Mumm, is that how it's Pronounced Mumm. (Eddie McGuire: 50 / 50 and Phone a Friend) no I'm gonna go with my Gut and go with Mumm (Eddie McGuire: Final Answer). Yep (Eddie McGuire: Lock it in, Martin. You've won $125,000).
Why did it take him so long to use the 50:50?? It’s the last question
I wonder whether cotestants r taking too much time to anwrs or programers r melting copper instead of gold..
1:35:35.....you have got to be kidding.
I guess they heard a global Christmas song, so yeah they're stupid
Starting with "Stop"...
There was an obvious cough when he said "mumm" did anyone hear it? 😅
1:42:38 A funny sound
Aussie show versions are long and boring as fuk. Master Chef is like 2000 episodes.
Do you have Bob Edgeworth?
51:48
1:26:56 1:26:57 Mao Zedong, you just won a million dollars!!!!!!
