US formats seemingly appealing to ITV at the moment, Jeopardy, Password, Wheel of Fortune - although not convinced any of these will fly here.
I think Wheel of Fortune at least is well known and remembered enough for it to return solidly, although I still maintain that it is deathly dull and Graham's going to be working hard to make it work in 2023.
Password will be played more as a comedy ents show at 9pm so think that's a different proposition that should do well.
Jeopardy is the one I am absolutely convinced will fail. Personally I think the format is bloody awful and I've never understood the love it gets online, though I think a lot of that is down to it being a very old show in the States with records to break and interesting quirks in the format every so often - a bit like University Challenge and Countdown over here I suppose. But it certainly doesn't have that legacy over here.
