Interestingly they state that the show's going to take place in a "new setting", with that I assume the Dream Factory's been retired.
"New prize boxes" also sounds kinda intriguing. So are the boxes getting a redesign or something? I wonder how the arcades that still have those mini bootlegs will react to that if so.
Seen a picture of Stephen with a classic box so remains to be seen. Hope they don't go the briefcase route as in the US. Suspect it'll be more of a shiny studio set but not a bad thing. The dream factory was just a set after all.
I guess even with the issue of not all contestants getting to play it is ultimately easier to use contestants to open the boxes than to use friends/family as C4 did in some of the specials and the celeb episodes (and no doubt they'll be celeb issues - probably Olly Murs again!) Although of course you could just have 22 boxes on stands and one assistant going around opening them.
