Secret Millionaire New Series - Any Takers?

I've only seen this programme once and found it a little annoying. I got the impression that the benefactor was more motivated by being able to show everyone that she was 'somewhat cunsiderublay, richer, than yowww' than helping others.
1. Shouldn't this be in the TV Forum (not that I agree with the need for a TV Forum)2. I'm surprised they can pull this off again - surely a major portion of the public know about the format of this show and would get suspicious of someone turning up to help them out with a film crew in tow?
3. The guy who came up to Glasgow seemed genuinely affected by what he saw and didn't see to the richer than yowww type. I do agree that most of them are a bit like that though.
Someone I know will be the millionaire in this program later in the year. Some local filming took place last week, but we are all restricted from talking about it.
She is female, and has won some big awards in business and life. She is highly successful given what she started with, and there are some other very obvious things that I cannot reveal until after the program goes out in case she is rumbled ahead of time.
With all her success, she's a very nice lady indeed who treats her employees and their families very well - I know this because she currently employs my wife.
Sorry to be so vague, but I am sure, knowing the lady and her family that this will be an honest program.
I will try to come back after it is aired.
ETA: She did not apply to do the show, they have been chasing her for a few years, and she has been turning them down.

If you were genuinely altruistic with your financial success, you'd just get on and do it, wouldnt you?
You'd give a bit here and a bit there to the causes that pulled your emotional strings, in private, without needing applause or recognition. You'd do it because you could.
You wouldnt wait for a fking camera crew and some B grade tt doing patronising voice overs about how fking successful you are or how much ing money you've got to be all nice and caring to the little people with as that and that alone would mark you out as an enormous facile decency vacuum thrubbing away in a corner with all the social grace of 'Loadsamoney'
Ergo, if you apply to be on this media based mind wkfest you are in fact one of the biggest s in this country.
Hopefully this clears things up a bit.

Jeez there's some miserable feckers out there. I watched the other night some guy give away over a quarter of a million pounds on that show. In anyone's money that's an awful lot of cash, and cash that he didn't really have to. He could have told them to do one and kept it himself, but he didn't, and a lot of people have and will benefit. So what if he gets to willy wag for a bit on national TV, good on him I say, and the others who donate.
But then, it's easy to be cynical from behind a keyboard isn't it?

It also says that the minimum donation is £40k but most episodes I watch, they seem to donate far more than.But then, it's easy to be cynical from behind a keyboard isn't it?

I've only seen it once and from what I remember it didn't even seem like the guy gave away £40K.What did grate slightly was that saying "well I'm actually very wealthy" seemed to roll a bit too easily off his tongue.
