Well it will be interesting how the ITV version has been modernized for 2023. Because they surely cant fully go back to the original Dutch version. TV has changed significantly and the concept is really no longer that unique. So they likely will have to change the concept slightly. Long running versions that have continued to use the Dutch original concept have made modifications over the years to stay relevant . Brazil and Australian versions have incorporated a few of the strategy-game like elements that have been used from series 2 of the American version since 2001. The Dutch version that aired on CBS in 2000 (a few months before BBUK premiered) didnt prove to be a big ratings winner, so CBS forced Endemol to step away from production of the programme and they incorporated the strategic elements that worked on another CBS creation and a runaway hit, Survivor. This gave the show the legs to last on the same channel form 23 years.
