The People Versus was a British game show that aired on ITV from 13 August 2000 to 18 June 2002.
In Round One, each contestant had to attempt and answer correctly one of those five questions - "one of five to stay alive".
In each round, the player could, if they wanted, earn more cash by answering more questions than the quota required, again for £5,000 a piece.
There was no limit on the amount of money someone could win which theoretically meant someone could win more than a million pounds, the top prize of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?, although no contestant ever won anywhere near this amount of money.
Studio contestants were asked general knowledge questions set by the public.
The contestant had to press a button to stop the voice and win whatever was shown on the screen.
If the studio player failed to beat the bong, then they would win nothing and the member of the public won all of the money in play.
