Synopsis
Three-parter where a man has to convince his entire family that he's won £1million on the Lotto. If he can keep up the ruse for one week, he and his family will win a great prize. If not, they get nada. Bupkis. Nothing. Zilch.
Got more press coverage than ratings, but found a niche on the international format market around the same time as My New Best Friend.
Inventor
This aired in the US as an NBC miniseries called The $25,000,000 Hoax (because, of course, $1.6m ain't enough to lie about in America). Their version was hosted by Ed McMahon and George Gray.
