A long-running quiz competition built on escalating stakes and manufactured suspense, where the format's reliable reset and the host's personality provide steady comfort despite the high-pressure framing.

A game show created in the United Kingdom, in which contestants attempt to answer general knowledge questions in an intimidating atmosphere in order to scoop the £1 million top prize. The original series was hosted by Chris Tarrant, and its modern-day revival is hosted by Jeremy Clarkson.
