Questions seem to be weighted oddly in these early series. What is the currency of Bulgaria is a very easy “trivia” question that anyone moderately into quizzing would get instantly. Whereas the James Gillray question was fairly obscure.
Knowing the currencies of Europe should be common knowledge to everybody! Krona is the currency not only in Denmark, but in Norway, Iceland and my own country of Sweden as well. Koruna is the Czech Republic.
And it's not even like Bulgaria is half a world away for a Brit. An average contestant may very well have visited Bulgaria. One point though, the difficulty of the game isn't just the difficulty of each question, it's the mix of questions. To go from vocabulary to US landmarks to art to currencies to animal science is a massive spread.
For me the question number 14 was like "What, really?". Maybe, I am just very good at knowing currencies, but this seemed ridiculous. For an American it would be confusing, but for a smart British man it was far too easy.
It would be good if you mentioned the huge win in the title but didn't show the extent of the win in the thumbnail. I quite like watching an episode knowing they are going to be win big but not knowing how much, makes for a more intense watch!
@@classicmillionaire Yeah that is understandable. All I can say is, if I see 'huge winner' or something similar in the title I will definitely watch regardless of the thumbnail. Just more exciting if you don't know how much they are going to win.
To quote Chris Tarrant himself: "They're only easy if you know the answer." But yeah I agree. Even I knew that one and I have never been to Bulgaria lol
@@glitchedbloodBut remember that Pokemon was brand new at the time. And the Lord of the Rings movie wasn't out yet, so you had to know Frodo from the book.
Don’t you just love it when someone like Roger wins a huge amount of money!
Great episode.
Excellent!!! Also, Chris is by far my favourite host of the show.
wwtbam is nothing without him

Yes, sometimes such incidents happen.
Good Job Roger!!!!!

Sure. That!s why I never read those kind of extra info. You should do the same.
It's a catch 22, if I don't show it, people don't watch it and if I do show it, people moan about it.

Music too loud
Chris Tarrant so good
Cupboard Love?! I would've been going home with nothing. Probably would have said couch love. Jfc...
If that’s the contestant just after a haircut, I can’t imagine what he would have looked like before!
Meaowwww!
I think that one million is chump change.
Big win £500.000
This host is good. Jeremy is crap
Easiest 500,000 question I've ever seen.
Tell me about it.

The $500,000 Pokémon question from the USA is even easier

The risk of dropping from 250 to 32 is huge though.I saw it happen a couple of times.
