The set looks pretty decent on screen. Kind of ironic the first trailer for it airs on the BBC.
£250k was perfectly pitched as the jackpot in the original run to have that dilemma between "smile money" and "life-changing money". The average payout in the C4 run was around £16k and I reckon the tweak to the gameboard here could see that drop to around £4-5k. It'll probably see more people go down the route of opening the box - always annoyed me when people saw that as playing the game when the game was never about taking away the money in the box on your table, it was about taking the most amount of money you could get out of the game.
I guess we'll see a Call and Lose competition back on the show for the first time since it was axed in the wake of the various phone in scandals. I wonder how much those competition entries did help cover the prize money in the early days of the original run.
