Pending the debut - still without date or presenter - of the new Pasapalabra on Antena 3 , the Atresmedia channel reaffirms its commitment to competitions with the recovery of another iconic title of this television format: Who wants to be a millionaire? returns to the grill this Wednesday, this time on the stretch of prime time , with the first installment of a series of specials conducted by Juanra Bonet .

«The TV now is so overloaded with stimuli, with bombs that explode, trapdoors that open, vertigo, colors, bursts of sound ... there is so much speed, that this oasis of looks and silences allow a very pure tension to come out and genuine ”, he comments in conversation with EL MUNDO Bonet, fashion presenter at Antena 3 after the success achieved with another contest, Boom! , and with whom the chain has also counted for one of its star programs such as La voz .

Juanra Bonet now assumes the role that Carlos Sobera inaugurated 15 years ago and through which Antonio Garrido and Nuria Roca also passed. "It's a television challenge," insists the host. "The enjoyment and enjoyment of pauses and silences is a very stage thing rather than set, and all of us who have presented the millionaire have an acting background," he says establishing a link between the faces that in Spain have led in its different stages this international format that has been adapted in the last 20 years in more than 120 territories around the world , and that came to inspire a film that in 2008 took eight Oscars, Slumdog Millionaire .

As remembered as the program itself is the style that Sobera printed. His famous eyebrow lift was born here. "The best way to compete with that is not to compete," says Bonet, unmarking himself from the inevitable comparisons. " On TV it only works to be private , not to imitate," he says: "If you are not personal and natural, you are not interested."

These new deliveries of Who wants to be a millionaire? they have been recorded in Poland, on a set outside Warsaw where several of the versions of the contest are currently being produced in different countries. The players of these special editions for Spain are old known by the audience since they have all gone through other competitions. Thus there will be participants of ¡Boom! , Know and win , Pasapalabra , Figures and letters and even the own of Who wants to be a millionaire?

The mechanics of the game is classic. Each player, sitting in front of the presenter, must answer questions by choosing from four response options. If you overcome question 15 you get a million euros . On the way it has three wild cards: the 50%, the public and the family - which replaces the traditional call.

After this experience, which shows Antena 3's confidence in him, Juanra Bonet flies over another million dollar question:

- Will Pasapalabra present ?

Call Wildcard:

- «Any thoughts that move me away from Boom! and the millionaire seems disloyal. There will be time for the chain to make its decisions ».
