Who Wants to be a Millionaire is crap.

All that umming and arring.

Watch Who Wants to be a Millionaire, then watch the Weakest Link, where there was a new question every 5-10 seconds. There's no competition.

Or pointless where there are loads of answers to every question.

  Even the dumbest fucker has a 1 in 4 chance of getting the question right without using a lifeline.

i love pointless, best game show on at the moment, makes you think a lot more than the others.

Pointless is exactly what it says... pointless. The Chase is much better.

Millionaire was always going to go downhill once the first Million was won, a bit like Deal or no deal really when the first person won £250,000.

As for Pointless, the prize money is a piss take when you compare it to other gameshows.

That's the BBC for you, all for themselves.
