Deal worked because the prize was perfectly pitched to make the offers a genuine dilemma. Lower and it's easy to play on, higher like in the US and six figure offers become the norm and you might as well just take it.
The average pay out in the C4 days was around £16k so no surprise they want to lower that but I'd have looked to have kept the headline jackpot and have the amounts below it drop by greater amounts.
Also with Box 23 the jackpot was actually potentially £500k in the shows final years, so it has arguably dropped five fold.
