***** Possible SPOILER below ***************

Hello,
I always assumed this show was live, but my friend told me that he read in the paper that in January, someone wins the £250K.Then I checked this site and saw references to this show being taped. How is that possible when there are people calling in to win the amount in 1 of the 3 boxes at the end of the show??
Can someobody please explain??

I think they just add the graphics on top of the recorded show

In the viewer's competition, Noel usully says congratulations to 'you' and the winner's name comes up on the screen. He never says their name because it was recorded in advance.

Hmm, so callers can find out in advance whether it's £1000,£2000 or £10,000?
How far in advance are shows taped? Also, does anyone know whether or not it's true that someone wins £250K in January?

About 3 or 4 months in advance the shows are taped.

I think that the spoiler is true also. Pity I was in the wrong thread at the wrong time (not this one) :roll:

Well unless they were there for the recording of that show then no.

Ahh ok, well thanks for filling me in. Hmm, while I'm here, can anyone tell me how the show works for the contestants? Do they have to quit their jobs to be on? Does the show pay for their accommodation and meals?

They film 3 shows a day so they are only there for 2-3 weeks. Some have had to quit their jobs to come on because their bosses are lame but most just take 2 weeks off and then return to work after.

The contestants all stay at a hotel where accommodation and meals are paid for (I think) but they have to pay for their drinks at the bar or Endemol would go bankrupt! :lol:

Welcome to the board.

Please don't think I'm having a go at you as soon as you've arrived here, but posting spoilers without adequate warning is really not the done thing. Take a look at this thread for guidance.

I hope that nobody thinks I'm speaking out of turn saying that, but if I cannot avoid spoilers here then I'll have to stop visiting.

OK, I'm sorry I didn't properly identify this post as a spoiler. I hope I haven't ruined the show for anyone.
Thanks to everyone who answered my questions.

I think everyone knew before you posted that. Although the people who probably didn't know probably know now. Stupid Guardian, I guarantee there will be trouble when this is aired, people will be so pissed off because the tension was drained badly from the game.

Wasn't it in the Mirror?

I read it in the Guardian

The Guardian was the other article wasn't it, around the anniversary show with the players' names changed.

I can't believe anyone really thought we would see the first £250,000 winner unexpectedly though. Just like the first Millionaire jackpot winner, it was always going to be all over the press beforehand. They want to generate interest and get people to watch who wouldn't do normally.

I think people would be refrained from watching the show, knowing the outcome already.
