FASTEST FINGER FIRST NEW MONDAY, 4.30 PM, & TUESDAY-FRIDAY, 4 PM, ITV GAME SHOW
As a self-confessed quiz-show fanatic, Anita Rani was thrilled to land the job of hosting Fastest Finger First, ITV’s afternoon spin-off from the hugely successful game show Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?
Based on the section of the original show that selects who gets the chance to play for £1 million, the extended format will see contestants competing against each other over several rounds for the chance to go on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?
We had a few questions of our own for Anita, 44, to find out more…
Can you tell us how the show works?
It expands on the familiar first round of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?, where players put their answers to a multiple-choice question in a specific order in the fastest time to go forward to the main game.
In Fastest Finger First, we have five contestants take it in turns to work their way up a question ladder. The two players with the best score at the end of the round then go head-to-head in a Fastest Finger First duel. At the end of each episode, whoever is in the seat when the klaxon sounds wins a place in the Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? hot seat in front of Jeremy Clarkson.
Are you a fan of quiz shows?
I’m a quiz obsessive! We are a family who sit and watch TV together, and when they announced Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? was coming back with Jeremy, I couldn’t wait!
