[JMT1985]

I wouldn't be surprised if Banijay wanted the show to be more like the international versions with the exception of having boxes rather than cases.

Also many international versions have 26 cases, not the 22 we have - the US version when hosted by Howie Mandell was a classic example of how the UK got the format just right

The US version was crap - 26 models standing with cases and one player, along with his/her family/friends in a little section of the studio, and a screaming, applauding audience. 

They also had a more modern phone, and also to ruin the feel of the show, they had the silhouette of the banker in a gallery platform, wearing a modern phone headset - really just ruined the show, but suited the US attitude towards it.
