Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?

Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? is a British television quiz show and the original version of the international franchise based on the format. It was created by David Briggs, Steven Knight and Mike Whitehill for the ITV network. The format has contestants answering multiple-choice general knowledge questions, winning a cash prize for each correct answer, with the prize increasing as the questions become increasingly difficult. With an incorrect answer the contestant leaves with whatever prize is guaranteed by the last safety net they passed, unless they opt to walk away before answering with the money they have so far acquired. Contestants are granted a limited number of "lifelines" to help answer questions.
