Lose A Million

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Lose A Million was an early 1990s British game show which was produced by Action Time for Carlton Television and was hosted by Chris Tarrant with voiceovers by Honor Blackman.

In a twist to the traditional gameshow format, the contestants each started with a million 'pounds' and the object of the game was to get questions wrong, therefore losing money. The contestant with the least money at the end was proclaimed the winner, winning £5000.

The set of the show was supposed to be an art-deco cruise ship.

The show is briefly featured in the film, Shallow Grave, with Ewan McGregor taking part in the jollity.

[edit] International versions

In Singapore, a similar version called Here's A Million, was screened on MediaWorks TV Works in 2001.

[edit] Trivia

Ironically, years after this show ended, Tarrant would go on to be the host of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?, a show with an objective completely opposite of the former.
