''The Colour of Money'' is a British game show, broadcast on ITV between 21 February and 11 April 2009. The programme was produced by 12 Yard, and hosted by Chris Tarrant and Millie Clode. The format was originally devised by Paul Brassey and Daniel Moody in 2006, and developed by Jim Cannon, Andy Culpin, Samuel Pollard and David Young. A total of eight episodes were produced but only seven of these were broadcast, due to poor viewing figures. Subsequently, the programme was axed by ITV on 12 June 2009. The game-show later survived as a board game manufactured by games-giant Drumond Park.〔http://entertainment.stv.tv/tv/102147-chris-tarrants-latest-show-axed/〕 ==Format== In the studio, are twenty stylised "cash machines", each with a different coloured screen (hence the title of the show). Before each game, each machine is loaded with a different amount of money. These amounts range from £1,000 to £20,000 in increments of £1,000. The contestant, hosts, audience and viewers are all unaware of which amount of money is in which machine. At the beginning of the game, the contestant is given a choice of three "cash cards", each of which has been credited with a cash value from £50,000 to £100,000. The value on the card the contestant selects becomes their target for the game. The contestant proceeds to select cash machines one at a time. At this point, the entire studio changes colour to the relevant colour that the contestant selects. The host starts each machine, at which point, the money inside begins counting upwards on the screen, at a rate of £1,000 per second. When this figure passes, the total amount that the machine contains it 'locks down', signified by an alarm and flashing screen. The contestant must stop each machine before it locks down by shouting the word "stop". If the contestant stops the machine, then, the amount displayed on the screen at that point is added to a running total. If, however, they fail to stop the machine before it locks down, then, no money is added to the total. The contestant can select up to ten of the twenty machines. If they add enough money to their total to reach their target, then, they'll win the game, and get to take the money home. If they fail to reach their target after selecting ten machines, or if at any point in the game, it'll become mathematically impossible for them to do so, then, the game ends, and the contestant gets relegated from the show with nothing. Co-host Millie Clode provided contestants with a statistical rundown between the machines being played – informing them of their running total, how much money they still needed to take, how many machines they could still select and how much money they needed to take, on average, from each of these remaining machines to reach their target. Each episode of the show featured two consecutive games. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Colour of Money (game show)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
