The British version of "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?" is going on the road.

The Sun newspaper reports contestants in the show will play for 1 million points -- exchangeable for prizes -- instead of a million pounds (about $1.9 million). Every member of the audience will be a contestant, with every seat equipped with a button and those who are the fastest in the first round invited to the stage to compete against each other.

Celador International, which owns the rights to the show, plans to take it to six venues, each holding about 15,000 people. But host Chris Tarrant will not be around, being replaced by six presenters.
