Jeremy Clarkson hosting 'Millionaire'.

Yes, one chap did. The calibre of questions is higher in the 2 quiz teams that I play in.

I thought one man got up to £32,000. I remember because I got all those answers and the next one which he didn't answer: just took the money.

i wasn't interested in watching this - in fact we both said no thanks when it was advertised but as the week's gone on we've both ended up watching it. Hard to believe no one has got past the £1000 so far!

We watched it last night, we didn't see Monday or Tuesday's episodes. I quiet enjoyed Jeremy as host, I've never liked watching him before.
I agree this group of contestants have very little general knowledge. We shared Jeremy's frustration that nobody could keep more than £1000.

I have to agree. It's almost embarrassing at times.

Is this ‘one off week’ a trial run and if it draws viewers will be brought back.

True Jane, but they could have just said they were busy, not "can't stand Jeremy Clarkson"

Clarkson seems to be a bit of a marmite character, like the other JC, Jeremy Corbyn. He definitely divides opinion.

Does anyone think the questions are so easy this time around ?

People would be on their way somewhere and not expecting to be suddenly involved for several hours unexpectedly. It's not surprising that they couldn't just change their plans like that.

We happened to be passing the ITV studios at Salford Quays when this programme was about to be filmed and there were men at the door desperately trying to get people in to join the audience, only to be told "can't stand Jeremy Clarkson". When you consider how many folk seem to want to be on tv, even in an audience, it was surprising that the men at the door were having such a hard time filling the seats

I have never been a fan so really surprised to find that I am enjoying this <whispers> can't stand Chris Tarrant

He comes across as personable and amusing on Millionaire. I'm surprised to find I quite like the programme.

Can`t stand him as a rule, but I must admit to being pleasantly surprised with this programme.

Well I didn't expect to like it as I never was a fan when Chris Tarrant hosted it but... Surprise surprise I really enjoy it. Well done Jeremy I say.

He's written about it in the Sunday Times this week.
I agree he's pretty repulsive in car programmes, but he writes very good articles on other topics.

lemongrove that’s a new ‘lifeline’ - you can ask the host ie Clarkson (just once). Not much use though he’s pretty thick. .

DH stopped watching because Jezza was too touchy feely. Not something I would have expected to hear about him!

I did watch this the other night and was surprised to see Clarkson helping a contestant with an answer ( how many sides does the Stop Sign have) have never seen that happen before.

I absolutely could not bear to watch him on the toys for boys programme, but he does come across ok on this programme I think.

No, didn't enjoy watching him. I turned off after about ten minutes.

Oh, I didn’t even know about this! I shall have to find it on catch-up.

I'm enjoying it tbh,its the best thing on TV at the moment.

Can’t bear to even see his face so won’t be watching

I'm not a fan of his, but yes, I think he's doing a good job. I prefer him to Chris Tarrant.

Yes, i too am surprised how well he is doing....he is very witty and gets on with it...
