One thing Deal perhaps doesn't get credit for is how inclusive they were in terms of contestants in pretty much all senses, but noteably age in the sense of always having a real cross generational batch of contestants and also having a range of disabilities on the show in a way other shows prior arguably hadn't.   

I think if you looked at their contestants from the decade or so they were on air you'd have a much better reflection of the make up of Britain of the time than you would from any reality show or other game show.

The inclusivity aspect was perhaps unintentional with the show being nothing to do with general knowledge and just opening boxes. There will be in-depth research out there about people being disadvantaged by many aspects of their life including disability which limits opportunities for learning, but DOND certainly would have encouraged people who wanted to be on tv but felt dissuaded by the requirements of other shows.

Millionaire, it's never given a great slot because viewers aren't that interested in it anymore. Limitless Win is more appealing even if its numbers hardly set the heather alight. Hopefully, ITV don't move it to SNT's slot and/or pair it up with Wheel of Fortune because it works where it is and the latter options are problematic.
