Lose A Million

Overview

Lose A Million was an early 1990s British game show which was produced by Action Time for Carlton Television and was hosted by Chris Tarrant with voiceovers by Honor Blackman. In a twist to the traditional gameshow format, the contestants each started with a million 'pounds' and the object of the game was to get questions wrong, therefore losing money. The contestant with the least money at the end was proclaimed the winner and received £5,000. The set of the show resembled an art-deco cruise ship. The show is briefly featured in the film Shallow Grave, with Ewan McGregor taking part in the jollity. Years after this show ended, Tarrant went on to host Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?.
