How long has this been going? First questions up to and including £50,000 are timed and there's a new lifeline at that stage (haven't seen what it is yet!)
It's a bit more 'energetic', I guess. Any thoughts?

Didn't JPM invent the 'switch'?

I'd laugh if you were 1 away and you had 4 wrong answers or he just kept asking you questions

have seen this now for a few weeks... QM is right, JPM invented the 'switch' lifeline - I know it has been around for ages in the online version of the game at least. Seems the producers have taken a leaf out of their book!
I think the new format is OK really, gets plenty of simpletons through in the allocated time slot
Would like to see another contestant of Pat Gibson's calibre come on and blitz this version! They would annihilate the 'big bad clock' with time to spare.

......if JPM were involved in the production of the US version of the show...... which is unlikely.

Like the original, they have paid out a lot of money in the early programmes with "easy" questions. Several £50k's and £75k's. Better than the protracted previous series that people had got bored with.

It seems the US show were using this in 2004 and the online game supposedly originated in 2008.
I was wrong about the actual invention of the switch... good call David.
