    RIP. The composer of this music died today aged 50. Matthew Strachan wrote about 100 versions of the melodies to fit with every possibility on the actual show. The music MADE the show work! RIP

      The series music was done by both Keith Strachan and his son Matthew. Bizarrely, the 2007 remix is still used internationally. The U.S version used different music and the original UK version restored the classic music when Top Gear's Jeremy Clarkson took over on WWTBAM's 20th Anniversary series in 2018. Atleast Sony seem to still care about the series in it's own right for being a British-based international show.

      Also since it was a USA version you ended up with a lot less money after tax. For example if you play who wants to be a millionaire in the UK, you’d walk away with $1.3m. But, if you played in the USA, you’d win around $700k which is £536k. So, unbelievably, if you played who wants to be a millionaire as a Brit in the USA, you’d end up with HALF the money. But if you are an American playing in Britain, you would end up with an extra $600k. Crazy

    I've read the interview with the composer Matthew Strachan. He said that that the studio brought him and his dad Keith to help with the WWTAM pilot that was such a disaster, that the producers knew that they need to scrap everything and redo the whole thing from the scratch. The pilot was made by old standards like your 80s game shows and they were in need of a kick ass soundtrack and boy oh boy the father-son duo delivered just that.

      Come to think of it, without the overall presentation, WWTAM would be just a trivia multiple-choice game show with a particularly big grand prize at the time.
      They have to put the emphasis on participating in the game being a life-changing event. Sit on that chair, and you'll never be the same again.
      And the music probably single-handedly makes it all work.

      ​​@@DeadlyV1RU5 I never thought TWL had any tension because I always found it BS no matter how many episodes it has. Every time, people vote out strong links as competition and barely make any money. Only the winner wins anything so it paid out far less per episode than TWL. It's understandable as a BBC license fee show but then it seems like fake stakes. And in the US I just felt like it was a stingy attempt to topple WWTBAM without paying out as much. (In retrospect US WWTBAM almost feels socialist with how much money they were giving out at one point. The questions were so easy and they did so many episodes they were giving out millions a week. It feels like a different US watching it now, like it is the epitome "pre-9/11" show in its US incarnation)
