What does WWBM mean in UNCLASSIFIED

Who Wants to Be a Millionaire (WWBM) is an international television game show franchise of British origin, created by David Briggs, Mike Whitehill and Steven Knight. Contestants answer questions posed by the host to win escalating amounts of money, culminating in the grand prize of one million pounds.

In WWBM, contestants answer questions correctly in order to progress up the money tree with a maximum of fifteen questions. Questions are posed which have multiple answer choices and contestants must pick the correct answer to move forward.

Yes, there are three lifelines available when playing WWBM. These are "50/50", "Phone-a-Friend" and "Ask The Audience". 50/50 removes two wrong answers leaving the contestant with only a fifty percent chance of getting it right. Phone-a-Friend allows the contestant to call someone for advice and Ask The Audience gives them the option to ask the people in the audience which answer they think is correct.

Who Wants To Be A Millionaire first aired in 1998 on ITV in Britain hosted by Chris Tarrant and continued until 2014. It has since been revived twice on ITV (first from 2018–19 then again for 2020). At present, many countries around the world have their own version of WWBM including an American version which began airing in 1999 on ABC.

After answering each question progressively correctly, if/when a contestant makes it to the end and answers their fifteenth question correctly, they become a millionaire! They are presented with a cheque for one million pounds (or its equivalent currency) at that point and will also be given further offers such as promotional appearances after winning.

Anyone over 18 years old who lives within proximity of where the show films can apply or will be handpicked from various press events or auditions depending on where you live. Contestants should be comfortable with appearing on national television and have knowledge across all subject disciplines – geography, history etc..

Yes, each question has 30 seconds allocated for answering but this isn’t strict as some hosts may give more time if needed; especially if contestants struggle or need clarification on something before making their choice. If time runs out during game play then that means an incorrect answer was chosen by default resulting in elimination from that particular game.

Contestants do not get paid to take part in Who Wants To Be A Millionaire; however if they reach certain levels of winnings they will walk away with large sums of money. It's also common practice for networks or producers to give participants additional financial rewards such as travel expenses or gift cards for appearing on show.

An episode takes up approximately sixty minutes in total including commercial breaks and introductions prior to beginning game play.

Questions asked usually vary widely but range from general knowledge topics such as current affairs, pop culture trivia or famous quotes etc…before they increase into much more difficult material like science theories or mathematical equations.

Contestants still receive some reward even if eliminated before making it through all fifteen questions even though earlier losses mean smaller rewards than those made at later stages; typically prizes starting at £100 up until £32'000 depending on how far up through the game players manageing go before being Eliminated.
