rob "coach" fulton
the transmission of the game show "who wants to be a millionaire?" on rival channel itv at the same time as the final series of "one foot" led to the ratings that year being lower than for previous series. the broadcast of "things aren't simple any more" coincided with the broadcast of the first uk jackpot win on "millionaire". the news of judith keppel's win, recorded the preceding sunday, was leaked to the press; itv announced keppel's success at a press conference on the day of broadcast. renwick was annoyed that this would take "audience interest" away from "one foot". he said that the early announcement of the outcome of "millionaire" was "naked opportunism", and it "would have been more honorable to let the show go out in the normal way". he pointed out that they also "killed off any element off tension or surprise in their own programme", but "television is all about ratings". on the night of its broadcast itv's "who wants to be a millionaire?" attracted 13.9 million viewers (48 percent); "one foot", which began transmission fifteen minutes later at 21:15, attracted 10.7 million (36 percent). the episode peaked at 11.6 million viewers when it ran concurrently with its itv rival.
