Overall, it seems like ITV didn't want to tinker with the Channel 4 format too much, which is probably wise!
If it ain't broke, don't fix it approach - the only reason Channel 4 ended Deal's original run was that it had been for there for over a decade and people got bored with it - Channel 4 literally milked the show to death - originally it was on five days a week, then increased to six days and then some times it was seven days a week.
Then they did something which Noel said they should never have done, was to bring in celebrity specials - Noel said when Channel 4 went down that path, he felt this was the start of the decline of the show
If ITV don't do a "The Chase" on this, and milk the show to death once again, it should survive.
