The original version of the game is easier to translate to here. In the Jeremy Clarkson version, there are two "safety nets". The first is automatically at 1,000 - like the original version. As the contestant goes along, they say if they want a particular question to be the safety net but they still have to get it if they want that safety net. They can always walk away with the money they have won so far, just like the old game. In practice, many have opted for 32,000 as the safety net, which makes it the same as the old game. One other difference is that there is a fourth lifeline - Ask The Host. That might have been interesting!! Incidentally, during the Chris Tarrant era, they tinkered around with the amounts after a while, but it was brought back again. At some point, they also had a fourth lifeline where you could swap a question, and they also introduced time limits on answers (as well as the lifeline limits).
