 - applied. I want to get to the £125,000 question with no life-lines and no idea what the answer is to see if I have the balls to go for it or not! |

I have made a good few attempts to get on Millionaire and been called back a couple of times but fluffed the tie-break question.
Millionaire has always been run as a lottery with the prize being a seat on the show. It is rather curious having auditions and a lottery running side-by-side. A bit like having a poker tourny where some players have to buy-in and play their way through to the final. Wheras other just pass an audition to go straight to the final table with no buy-in.
I suspect all this is because that the income from the telephone/internet entries has largely dried up. And also that the Gambling Commision is likely to rule that this type of lottery is illegal in the near future which would destroy the principle of the show. If the show is done without the income stream from from the telephone/internet lottery it would seem very unlikely they would be able to pay out prizes at the rate they have done in the past.

I have tried before and answered the application questions right but i think they are quite ageist- dont think they choose anyone under 35!!!!
My neighbour actually got on the show, she didnt get into the chair but she was close on the fastest finger bit.

Don't think it was your age. Probably to do with you being Welsh. Is there a rugby match on today or something? |

I have been called back twice, and my tie break questions where 'to the neaterst foot, how long is the golden gate bridge'. and ' how many mile of coastline lies in the North Sea'
You got 6 seconds (i think). I never got through on both occasions. Hope I have better luck this way....

Dam hard to google it. You don't know exactly when they are going to call (don't know if you could ask them to call back at a 'suitable time'), and when they do, you have only got 6 seconds from the time the question finishes to give your answer.
I think for the bridge I said 2500, for the miles of coastlne in the north sea, I guessed at 10,000. Most probably miles out...
