I watched this for the first time tonight and was quite disappointed at the format. Both contestants won their target amount of money without too many problems. It did look quite stressful towards the end of each game, but I think it's easier to win a good amount of cash on Colour of Money than on Millionaire and to be honest I found it all a bit boring with no challenge whatsoever for the viewer at home. I really do like to participate, which is why I love Countdown so much and of course I've always loved screaming at the screen on Millionaire. I really don't think The Colour of Money will be such a great hit, but then what do I know?

She was going to buy 32,000 loaves of bread and 64,000 packs of ham to test some wacky question she'd read about on the internet with the people on the streets of Bromsgrove. Or something. I might have made that up in my sleep-deprived state.

How do you know about Bromsgrove? Unlucky enough to have lived there?

What's wrong with Bromsgrove?
