Story and premise

In this show, a single contestant is prompted to complete song lyrics for increasing amounts of money. After each correct answer, the contestant can continue playing, risking what has already been earned, or quit the game and take home all the money he or she has already earned. If the contestant continues playing and correctly completes nine song lyrics, he or she will be given a lyric from any top ten song from the past forty years that has featured in the Top 40 UK Singles Chart. If the contestant completes the final lyric correctly, he or she wins the grand prize of £250,000.
