Synopsis

Chris is back and tonight he'll be phoning a friend to bring us some very exciting 'Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?' news! And Twitter ye not - Chris has started to Tweet!

Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?

Not very often, but once in a while, a television show comes along that smashes the mould and redesigns it in its own image. A genuine phenomenon, this show changed the Quiz Show genre forever and had its millions of viewers shouting ‘I do!’ at the television every night. Our very own Chris will be appearing on the celebrity edition of this very show with our very own Sir Terry Wogan! So we asked for the lowdown when it comes to finding those very important friends to phone from the Executive Producer of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, Colman Hutchinson…‘final answer?’

Twitter ye not?

Three years ago the word Twitter referred to “Birds’ Talk” or people in an advanced state of agitation. Today it’s morphed into a massive social networking service, valued at One Billion Dollars with five million people a month joining it. Why has it become so popular? And should we all be tweeting? Twitter Consultant and member of the worldwide Twitter Elite, Mark Shaw blew the whistle on this amazing high tech tete a tete.

Monday 19 October - Question

Is "Just for Men" just for men, or can women use it as well? Kay Bauer, Hampshire

Monday 19 October - Answer

Yes, women can use it as well. A spokesperson for the company says there's no difference between men's and women's hair when it comes to colouring, but men prefer to buy their product because they're too embarrassed to go into a shop and buy something for women. Also, the company website says that women's products change the colour of every hair on your head - whether it's grey or not - giving a less natural look. They also come in a variety of fashion colours, which aren't appropriate for men who don't want obvious colour changes. And they point out that Just for Men only takes about 5 minutes to apply, as opposed to 30 to 45 minutes - the implication being that men are just too lazy to put the extra work in.
