About This Program ✦
Jeremy Clarkson fronts a quiz programme in which six eager participants vie for a prize of one million pounds. The show is presented in a straightforward style, with Clarkson acting as the sole host who guides the contestants through each stage of the competition. The core of the game sees six hopefuls battling it out for the cash reward, but the format imposes a strict rule: only a single contestant may occupy the so‑called Hot Seat at any given moment. This means the players must wait for their turn before they can attempt to answer the questions and progress toward the ultimate prize. Because the Hot Seat can host just one person at a time, the contest unfolds as a series of individual attempts rather than a simultaneous free‑for‑all. Each hopeful steps up, faces the quiz under Clarkson’s direction, and then steps aside for the next contender. The alternating nature of the seating ensures that every participant receives an equal opportunity to showcase their knowledge. The million‑pound prize remains the central incentive, driving each contestant to aim for success while adhering to the one‑at‑a‑time rule. Clarkson’s role is to keep the proceedings moving smoothly, presenting questions and managing the flow as each player takes their turn in the Hot Seat.
