Title: Re: million pound drop Post by: AlrightJack on May 25, 2010, 12:38:04 PM They didn't. Far too drawn out and Davina is awful as usual.

Title: Re: million pound drop Post by: lazaroonie on May 25, 2010, 03:58:49 PM ha, this is so com.
it is somewhat bad, and Davina manages to completely mangle the whole presenting job, but there is something brilliant about watching two people who have obviously got an over inflated opinion of their own intelligence watch their dreams of untold riches slowly being eroded question by question, and then their complete disbelief as they watch the last few bundles, quite literally go down the tubes.... Title: Re: million pound drop Post by: Cf on May 25, 2010, 04:47:50 PM Just watched it. Interesting idea but I'm not sure it works. Completely ignoring the fact that it's massively drawn out I think there are some flaws with the fundamental idea.
Obviously, no-one is going to win £1m. DOND do a similar thing in that they can offer a £250k first prize daily knowing that it's v v rarely going to actually be won. But the problem with a start with the money and lose it with wrong answers format is that the questions are generally too hard as the programme maker needs to protect itself against everyone winning the jackpot. Things like who had the youngest number 1 single and the age difference being 3 years is daft as people aren't going to be 100% sure of this sort of thing meaning they need to spread there money. You can't do this over 8 questions though as you're quickly left with a tiny amount. Also. All boxes should drop at the same time. That'd be much more fun than yet another effort by a quiz show ffs trying to be suspensful. Title: Re: million pound drop Post by: redsimon on May 25, 2010, 04:52:30 PM Just watched it.

I switched off after about 10 mins. Davina needs to be hung out to dry. She's just awful
Title: Re: million pound drop Post by: zzBlizzardzz on May 25, 2010, 08:22:34 PM Yep Its crap.
Title: Re: million pound drop Post by: Ironside on May 25, 2010, 10:32:54 PM where do they find contestants so thick?
Title: Re: million pound drop Post by: Ironside on May 25, 2010, 10:42:32 PM atleast there are speeding the game up tonight
Title: Re: million pound drop Post by: LeedsRhodesy on May 25, 2010, 11:12:10 PM people are soooooooooooooooooooo thick ffs Title: Re: million pound drop Post by: Girgy85 on May 25, 2010, 11:17:13 PM people are soooooooooooooooooooo thick ffs shall we apply rhodesy? Title: Re: million pound drop Post by: thetank on May 25, 2010, 11:18:10 PM Interesting idea, the maths of it all.
Hedging in the first four questions seems ridic both in terms of maximizing EV and for maximizing your 'in the money' %. For the first four, bunging it all on a hunch/educated guess looks to be the way forward. Not interesting enough to watch again though. Quiz shows that ask three questions between ad breaks = waste of a life. Title: Re: million pound drop Post by: LeedsRhodesy on May 25, 2010, 11:32:47 PM people are soooooooooooooooooooo thick ffs shall we apply rhodesy? do it Title: Re: million pound drop Post by: redsimon on May 25, 2010, 11:52:02 PM where do they find contestants so thick?

Title: Re: million pound drop Post by: zzBlizzardzz on May 26, 2010, 04:16:53 PM It's like a friggen hour of people stacking money into an area to small for the money to fit in.

Last I looked I had to pay £140 to watch any channel. Hence it's a tv licence not a BBC licence. I think my point is still valid. Unless someone wants to have a comment about my spelling?

On the very first MPD show, when the very first contestants decided to put all their money on one answer on the very first question, she made one of her usual braindead comments "Oh my god, if this loses, you could become the shortest lived contestants we have had on the show." Fuck off you useless gurning muppet.

Title: Re: million pound drop Post by: MC on May 26, 2010, 11:12:47 PM Gotta go against the consensus here, I think it's a cool concept for a gameshow, and if it sped along a little faster it would be really good.

Could do with being a smidge faster, but didn't think it was too bad. Thought they played pretty well too - reasonable hedges on most of the questions. V. Unlucky on the last question - I would probably have said the same, but the wife would have got it right.
Has anybody actually won any money on it yet? Title: Re: million pound drop Post by: redsimon on May 27, 2010, 10:35:23 AM First time I saw it last night.

Q's lot easier imho last night apart from ozzy vs Di Q...Answer to last point a bit fat zero so far... Title: Re: million pound drop Post by: Claw75 on May 27, 2010, 12:54:30 PM I llke Davina McCall. And tats on women look big and clever. like smoking.
Title: Re: million pound drop Post by: paulhouk03 on May 27, 2010, 05:02:13 PM just watched the first one on 4od.
I dont think its that bad but the contestants are sooo stupid. the last Q She wasnt sure of the answer so she lumped 525k on 1 answer surely if ur uncertain winning 250k guarenteed is a pretty good option Title: Re: million pound drop Post by: Ironside on May 27, 2010, 05:08:16 PM you have to leave one empty so last question is all or nothing
Title: Re: million pound drop Post by: paulhouk03 on May 27, 2010, 06:20:21 PM you have to leave one empty so last question is all or nothing #oh that makes it more intresting lol im so stupid Title: Re: million pound drop Post by: Ironside on May 27, 2010, 06:22:27 PM you have to leave one empty so last question is all or nothing #oh that makes it more intresting lol im so stupid you would make an ideal contestant lol Title: Re: million pound drop Post by: redsimon on May 28, 2010, 10:39:18 AM Last night's was the best so far. Couple dropping £1m on the first question and another girl doing it all on Q.2 were pure lol moments. Still not one penny won yet with two shows to go. Second series to be commisioned?
Title: Re: million pound drop Post by: amcgrath1uk on May 28, 2010, 11:29:29 AM The girl last night, Claire, worked at my place until a few months ago. such a shame...

Second series to be commisioned? ...and are they desperate for contestants?.......the couple applied on Monday this week!, and how come they couldn't find a "friend" for clueless "on her own Doris" ? Also it could do some sort of lifeline to make it more interesting. Title: Re: million pound drop Post by: Acidmouse on May 28, 2010, 01:18:25 PM young cluless fukwits, utter tripe.
Title: Re: million pound drop Post by: BulldozerD on May 28, 2010, 01:21:56 PM young cluless fukwits, utter tripe. have to say it was the biggest line-up of thick people ever - first time i watched it last night and the contestants were lolworthy Title: Re: million pound drop Post by: GreekStein on May 28, 2010, 01:24:45 PM Yeah there was a bird who chose to on by herself and not have her fiancee with her. I mean wtf, how stupid are you?
I've never applied to go on a show in my life but me and my mate applied for this and the contestants are all so thick there must be some kind of selection process (maybe 3 spelling mistakes minimum on your application to be considered?) that we were actually a little happy we weren't picked. She then went on to get as far as question 2. wpwp. Title: Re: million pound drop Post by: Girgy85 on May 28, 2010, 02:25:42 PM The questions are only easy if u know the answers! ;)
Title: Re: million pound drop Post by: Chompy on May 29, 2010, 01:10:20 AM Sigh, seen a couple of these and just sigh.
Davina is better on here than BB imo. But she's still shite. Davina succeeded because of Big Brother, NOT the other way round, although most of those in TV will never realise as much. Someone on another forum asked whether the contestants on MPD were failed Big Brother applicants. This could be a very good shout imo. Also, Big Brother has normally kicked off by now. Why delay it for this guff? They are so convinced we all love Davina so much that we can't resist tuning in to see her in early summer, whatever she's on. Misread.

Big Brother starts 9th June - Channel 4 are running it as a refuge for those not interested in the World Cup. |
