    There is going to have to be a title change. The present title suggests lottery fever as well as desperation in the creative title thinking sense. Perhaps there can be a competition as to the the best alternative title.
    How about:-
    Save my Wedge.
    Martin's Money Makeover.
    Dont lose with Lewis.
    Lewis Change.
    Your're being Screwed.
    Make Me Richer. ( Or more than I would have been without Martin's help)
    MoneySaver Family Fortune.


    Rejected
    This shirt is for continuity purposes.
    Trevors World of Dosh.
    Make Me Research Personal Finance.

    Good luck with the program. Hopefully Martin can have some good graphics to illustrate his points.

    Well the general concensus seems to be CONGRATULATIONS MARTIN! so I'd better add mine!

    Seriously though Martin can't you exert some influence over the issue of the title (it sounds too much like a game show)....I do like Martin's Money Makeover though!

    Thats was my thought, and 'More money from Lewis' is corny but it could ride up a flag pole and catch someones attention. Let us all hope that the powers that be do not allow finance companies to use the inevitable ad breaks to peddle their high interest loans or debt consolidation efforts. Especially in front of the children.

    Let me say this again - and you can read through the politics. The title isn't mine, its chosen by the production company and ITV.

    @Martin
    You are going to have problems saying the title of the program.
    What you may need is a secondary title/catch phrase/diversion that deflects from the original stupid title. Critics will pounce on the title even if it is a great show.
    You may want to consider producing the show yourself if this kind of thoughtlessness persists.
    You have seen the backlash that the title provokes to those that do not know of your outstanding works so why not prove that you are in charge of your own image.

    The decision may be out of your hands and I will watch the show
    regardless of title, good luck with the show. It will improve the finances of those that watch and utilise your advice.
