The people versus

Season One

The game had five rounds, each had five questions on a topic that the participant had previously chosen. For each correct answer, the participant received 5 thousand pounds. The round number determined how many correct answers should be given for passing to the next stage (in the first round - one correct answer, in the second - two, etc. up to the fifth round, where it was necessary to answer all the questions correctly). If desired, the participant could answer additional questions by earning extra money - previously all questions of the round were shown to him.

The participant had three “replacements”, which he could use at any moment, if he did not know the answer to the question - the presented question was replaced by another. He also had the right to “buy” the answer for 10 thousand pounds from the existing winnings. In case of an incorrect answer, the participant lost only the money that was earned in the lost round, and his place was taken by the one who sent the correct answer to the question. If the player won in the fifth round, then he could repeat the whole game if he wanted to.

Season Two

The game has five rounds left, the participants of the show also answered questions from the audience, but the winnings changed:

• 1st round: 100 pounds, one correct answer, “pass” can be said 4 times
• 2nd round: £ 250, two correct answers, “pass” can be said 3 times
• 3rd round: £ 500, three correct answers, “pass” can be said 2 times
• 4th round: 1000 pounds, four correct answers, “pass” can be said 1 time
• 5th round: £ 3,000, five correct answers, “pass” cannot be said

The participant had to complete all 5 rounds in 4 minutes: if time was up, he lost everything. He could also say “pass” if he was not sure of the answer, or use the right of substitution — questions for “substitution” were selected from the topic that he had chosen in advance. If a player won the fifth round, he won 3 thousand pounds became fireproof, and he got the opportunity to play again from the very beginning, which theoretically allowed him to quickly win a large amount of money. In the daily version, a record of £ 15,900 was set.

If the player gave the wrong answer, then he lost, and the one who asked the question received £ 100. Later, a reward of £ 50 to the author of the question on which the participant was “cut off” was given out only in the 1st round, and in the following, the so-called “ Gong game ” was played, in which the amount earned by the player was played. The participant had the right to choose between three “gong games”: in two of them a gong sounded, in the third there was no gong. After choosing a game, a computer voice in turn announced the increasing amounts of money, and the player could stop the game at any time by pressing a button. After stopping, the player took the amount that the computer had announced last, and the presenter informed what amounts the computer would call next and whether the gong was in the selected game. If the player heard the sound of the gong, then he lost all the money (except the fireproof amount) that went to the author of the question. If there was no gong sound and the player heard the total, then he took the money.
