Lose a Million was an early 1990s British game show which was produced by Action Time for Carlton Television and was hosted by Chris Tarrant.
In a twist to the traditional gameshow format, the contestants each started with a group of pretend prizes worth a total of £1 million and attempted to lose as many of them as possible by answering questions incorrectly.
The host then pressed a button to set the carriage in motion; if the answer was indeed incorrect, the cash disappeared in a burst of pyrotechnics at the other end of the track.
The show is briefly featured in the film Shallow Grave, with Ewan McGregor watching it on television and calling out segments of the host's opening monologue along with the studio audience.
In Singapore, a similar version called Here's A Million, was aired on SPH MediaWorks channel TV Works in 2001.
An adaptation was broadcast in Germany called Verlieren Sie Millionen (Lose Millions) aired on second public-broadcaster ZDF in 1995.
