I have watched Who Wants To Be a Millionaire since it first started in 1998 and is now usually shown only on Saturday evenings and is one of the very few things worth watching on Saturdays. The problem is that it usually clashes with the only decent Saturday evening programme, Casualty. What I normally do is set the video for Millionaire and watch it another evening.
Chris Tarrent has hosted it from the start and his catchphrases like "We don't want to give that" have become very well known.
Four people have won £1 million since it started and no doubt there will be more millionaires in the future.
