Twenty years after it last aired, Who Wants to be a Millionaire burst back onto our screens for a week of shows this spring. A record 6 million viewers were shouting at the TV as contestants took on the new host, lifelines and questions. A second mini-series will air in November to celebrate the show's anniversary and this is the ultimate quiz-book for readers to take on the challenge at home. 
 
The perfect stocking filler for this Christmas, this interactive book is packed with a thousand questions that everyone can have a go at, from £100 answers that everyone should know, to the formidable £1,000,000 question. But it's a game of skill, too: should you save your lifelines? who do you ask on phone a friend? when do you set your safety line? 
 
The real question is, can anyone play a perfect game and make it to the top?
