Interesting. I don't know how well known the original is here.

I only know it’s the most popular quiz show in the US. I think people occasionally win a huge amount of money. I think it’s one of those programmes where the prize keeps rolling over to the next show if not won. I’m sure I’ve read that it was tried here years ago, but for some reason wasn’t very popular so was stopped.
I shall watch with interest.

I binged it on a streaming service a couple of years ago and really enjoyed it.

Saw it properly for the first time today. I can see why it’s popular in America. It’s certainly more challenging than the awful Tipping Point.

You have to have a wide range of knowledge to do well in this.

Or a bit of luck with the categories. The questions on Belgium weren't very hard if you've ever read a tourist guide or been there.

To earn a lot of money you have to win more than one day. Which takes a lot more than luck. In America, a few people won over a million dollars.

Yes, so I understand. It must take nerves of steel as rolled over days turn into weeks and sometimes months.

Anymore to come?
