YMMV / Winning Lines

  • Awesome Music: Just about the entire soundtrack, since it was composed by father and son team Keith and Matthew Strachan, who also composed the music for Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?. The Wonderwall music in particular is an awesome dramatic backdrop for the final round.
  • Memetic Mutation: "She still had a freakin' pit stop", a reference to the fact that one contestant could've won the top prize, but forgot that she still had a Pit Stop.
  • Spiritual Successor: Part of the format has its origins in Celador's 1994 series Talking Telephone Numbers — a variety show whose acts generated a series of numbers. If the last 5 numbers in your phone number matched them, you could call in live and potentially win up to £25,000.
