Who wants to be a millionaire? Disney does!
A major legal battle between the British creators of the hit TV show
‘Who wants to be a millionaire?’ and Disney’s ABC TV network has
ended in a payout of over $250million to the show’s creator Paul Smith & his colleagues.
The argument related to royalties claimed as due by Disney to the shows creators.
Barring an appeal the payout will mean a nice ‘pay day’ for the original investors in the show.
It is interesting to note that the UK comedian Jasper Carrott has a stake in the company.
So happy days for everyone expect Disney!
Maybe they should have phoned a friend!!
