Hong Kong CHINA: The first series debuted on April 29, 2001, and was popular enough for a second series to begin airing on July 22, 2002. The first millionaire was the team with famous composer Wong Jim and actress Fung Po Po during a special celebrity episode dedicated for charities where the winnings of each celebrity is donated to a different charity of their own choices. The Hong Kong-produced version is also shown in China, and it therefore had to pass Chinese government censors. The programme generated high enough ratings that at one point, the channel was showing fresh episodes every day of the week. Asia Television, the broadcasting network, was swamped with commercials during the hour the programme aired.
