  2. Love the UK series and it’s awesome seeing the reactions of people who get the money at the end.
    I will give this local version a bash, but like others have touched on, I hope they don’t go with their over done theme of running around after the families of sick kids and using them for ratings.

    Sean M, the secret millionaires would have an excuse such as being filmed for a story on adult education, someone going back to see how things have changed since they lived there as a child, or maybe a story on volunteer work in a certain town etc.
    They have had all kinds of excuses and they have all been quite believable, although one guy in a cafe did joke around and ask the secret millionaire if he was a secret millionaire, but the conversation moved on quickly and nothing came of it.

  3. This is a fabulous series – the UK edition has been fantastic to watch on Foxtel.

    It makes sense to have an Aussie series. I would like to see the wealthy putting their hands in their pockets to help someone else out.

    Couldn’t think of a better narrator than Rusty.

  4. In the UK version how did they explain having a camera man following the secret millionaire around?

    I don’t think people behave naturally if they are aware they are being filmed.

  5. i really liked the UK version of this but nine will turn it into some “aussie battler” type show where the only people that get helped are kids with cancer and their families (not that I have anything against kids with cancer or anything but you know they are televisions battler-de-jour when it comes to helping people)

  6. *Yawn* Done before. I’m sure each episode will be complete with Shelley Craft / Scott Cam appearances and today show / rescue special ops / sea patrol set visits.
