Double Your Money was a British game show hosted by Hughie Green. Originally broadcast on Radio Luxembourg, it transferred to ITV in 1955, a few days after the commercial channel began broadcasting. It was produced by Associated-Rediffusion until 1964 and then by Rediffusion London, and it finished in 1968 when the company lost its franchise. Throughout its run the show was one of the most consistently popular programmes on British television. The quiz format was similar to The 64,000 Dollar Question, with prize money approximately doubling at each question, and multi-part answers being required at the harder stages. Polish version of this quiz was "Wielka Gra" (The Big Game, 1962-2006).
