This is more like peering over at exam questions, rather than the daytime format of just answering any questions correctly or incorrectly, or just passing.
The host said in the 2nd episode to Ian Jones that his washing machine went bang during the call in the first of the 3 episodes. I didnt hear any Bang!
Agreed! I haven't watched this before (living in Canada, ofc) and I'm already in love with this format! Reminds me of Mastermind with a more competitive element. Seems a touch too niche and cerebral for a general audience, unfortunately...would love to see this adapted to a tabletop quiz game!
I think not only, as for me, rules were harder than in daytime version (2001). And why viewer who won money have to take the seat in the game if he hasn't any plans to do it? Moreover, writing a question on special topic is more difficult than writing question about general knowledge. (I do not deny that this is compensated by the huge size of the gain)

Question Number 15: Which phenomenally popular ITV quiz show was this a blatant rip-off of? ...No options, you don't need them. You see, this is the pitfall of a successful TV show. You get an ocean of copycats, most of which end up being a disaster. The BBC were the main culprits for producing knock-off Millionaire type shows. But I have empathy for them. They were faced with this juggernaut of a ratings monster hit, they had to try and take it on. They found their own in The Weakest Link eventually, and fair foul play to them. ITV didn't really need to clone their own success. But we got this, nevertheless. I mean, look at it. Listen to it. It's Millionaire. But, wow. It really didn't work as well. It's so dull, I can't even to be bothered to review it. But it's failings are mainly in Kirsty Young not having anything like the charisma of the anarchic Chris Tarrant, who brought such a sparkle of humanity and humour to an otherwise mechanical game. And the game, I can't even really understand it. I gloss over way before I care to take the rules on board. Something about questions, the public... I give up. There have been some good Millionaire inspired game shows over the years, but this certainly isn't one of them.
The funny thing is that it's the same production company ripping themselves off, which is always funny to see people trying to recreate their success and failing Although I actually prefer Kirsty Young to Kaye Adams but that was different circumstances and cheapened. Friends Like These was good but I can't really think beyond that when it comes to good Millionaire inspired gameshows, maybe The Weakest Link too
@@97channel what the fuck are you even going on about Am I the only one who thinks this lad has made a paragraph of utter bollocks? How does this have any resemblance to fucking millionaire or the weakest link? Firstly, Weakest Link was in its infancy. This was 2000-'01, so that argument is invalid. Secondly, it comes from that era of dramatic game shows. That literally is the only similarity. The entire gameplay is completely different. You have to have absolutely no taste whatsoever if you consider this bad. Dont even bother replying because I'll probably get another load of shite.
97channel, The People Versus improved dramatically for series two, despite removing the live audience. I remember watching that series on Challenge (I think it was daytime at launch). It was a lot faster, a lot easier for the viewers to follow and it was really high-pressure. Only one contestant played at a time, and it was accompanied by a short burst of risk and reward element as a consluion. Despite the improvements, I think the damage was done by the slow and complex original series 1. It was an irrelevant Celador spin-off for ITV that wasn’t really going to capture its audience, unlike the other WWTBAM spin-off Winning Lines which I loved.

Much preferred this format of The People Versus. Brilliant!
Matt Leary you got to play to your strengths
I think the Daytime format is more recognised and is easier to follow.

He’s just so ecastic !!!
Don't follow what you mean
@@RB-iw6ik he’s very happy he’s just won £65,000 !!!!
Brilliant

The first answer was wrong, Ronnie's break was really 5 minutes and 8 seconds, but for over 20 years, people thought it was 5.20.

If you’ve got any more of these please add them!

The only reason I can think this format 'flopped' is because of the huge amounts being given out every show! Shame.
I think not only, as for me, rules were harder than in daytime version (2001). And why viewer who won money have to take the seat in the game if he hasn't any plans to do it? Moreover, writing a question on special topic is more difficult than writing question about general knowledge. (I do not deny that this is compensated by the huge size of the gain)
By that logic Millionaire would have flopped
Does anyone know how much Geoff Owen ended up going home with?
The series in that format ended so Geoff took home the final amount but I believe a bit was added because the show ended
I found out elsewhere he finished with £83,000!
That sounds about right
@@DoubleWavedYellows Following logic, any gain will be a multiple of £5,000. Maybe he won £80,000 or £85,000?
Олег Неверов He won £80,000 on this version of the People Versus, then £3000 on the 2nd format.
