British GameShow hosted by Davina [=McCall=] and airing live on Creator/ChannelFour. Pairs of contestants start the game with £1,000,000 in bundled cash and have to bet it on answers to a series of multiple-choice questions by putting bundles onto trapdoors ("drops") corresponding to the choices. The drops for all the wrong answers then open, and any money placed on them is dumped down a chute and out of play. If the contestants finish the game with any money left, they get to keep it. They get their choice of two categories before each question, but the titles aren't always straightforward.

* CelebrityEdition: Rather than full celebrity editions, some episodes open with a celebrity pairing as the first contestants.
* GoldenSnitch: About as extreme as they get. The last question's no different than the others in terms of basic rules (you have to risk all your money, but leave one answer open). Problem is, [[AllOrNothing there's only two answers]]. And the question is arguably [[HarderThanHard the hardest in the game]].
