[JMT1985]

I think the set looks fine.  Had they gone for a recreation the original it would probably of looked quite dated - indeed didn't they change the set towards the end of it's run to something that was similar but not quite as good as the original.

Yes they did, and some said it was part of the process of a Noel Edmonds TV show, which always signified it's decline

Noel revamped his Noel's House Party set in 1996 and ruined it for many fans, especially with the dreadful 1997 set. Ripping the heart and soul out of the set and the format all in one go. Just go to YouTube and see how different the set looked in say 1993 compared to 1997. 

He also revamped the Telly Addicts set and format for what would turn out to be it's very last series which also ruined the show

So when in 2014, they revamped the Deal or No Deal set, fans felt here we go again, he destroys the set to "refresh" the show, and ruins it in the process

I think this new set is actually not too bad. We have to wait and see what it looks and feels like in the full show on screen, before we can judge
