They were "slavishly" adhering to the familiar.

I would have expected at least some changes to the typefaces or title graphics - but it looks identical.

Mish Mash of fonts, soft looking text overlays as if they are using the US templates, and even the opening globe is still rotated to show the US behind the logo text.

Now I can understand this approach, as it is an institution in the US and deviation risks alienating the potential audience for it - as Stephen Fry is also a big fan of the US original.

But I would hope if the show is commissioned for future episodes, they may be given a little leeway to make a few cosmetic alterations to the set and the graphics package.

Also the lack of in-studio audience is noticeable, but with the format as it is, Its not a lack of audience participation that is felt, but a lack of energy levels in the hosting and contestants, that may be improved by having people in studio.

Overall, Jeopardy is Jeopardy, and Stephen Fry's calm demeanour is well suited.
