I thought it had reportedly been cancelled but then I think it had a new casting call put out earlier this year.
Worth noting they've upped the repeat rate recently due to the advertising downturn, hence Lingo has only aired half of its new series with presumably the next batch to air in the New Year.
Deal is unlikely to get a continuous run like it did on C4 but suspect it might have a couple of runs a year of 30-40 episodes. If it shares the slot with Tipping Point that could probably have 80-100 new episodes itself.
As for this run - certainly is hurt by losing the £250k jackpot but keeping the payouts down to something that makes it viable. The more I see it though the more I appreciate how good Noel was.
