So todays' episode confirmed what Mulhern was referencing by "significant losers":

Alicia dealt at £4,150, which was too early. Had she played all the way to the end, she would have won £50,000 and been the highest winner of the new series so far. Her final offer was just above £31,000: currently the highest offer from the banker this series. I was expecting a 1p / 10p ending, having previously been offered a large amount of money that wasn't taken, but wasn't the case.


I have to say though, Mulhern is an ideal fit to carry the series forward in any future series. Even if there isn't always big winners (apart from the early years, there was one jackpot winner each calendar year in the Noel era), its a great game show where you get to see people agonising over potentially life changing money.

I strongly suspect ITV will commission new series in the future, since it has been pretty cheap in actual prize money given out so far, but we'll see if we get a big winner soon (but if that does happen, that will likely encourage them to keep it going in their schedules).
