I personally think that as a tv game, it won't last long.
- It is purely a game of chance
- There is no viewer participation in terms of testing one's own knowledge
- No sane person will EVER win £250k.
Think about it. If there's two boxes left, one 1p, and the other £250k. What sane person will take the risk? Same with £100k v £250k. Banker offers £175k. Not many are going to risk £75k.
I admit, it has good short term appeal. Long term? No.

Is that not the whole appeal of games like that though? The fact that a person will gamble £75k on the opening of a box? Makes for great[!?] TV 
One thing though, i've never managed to catch the 1st 5 mins of the programme, how do they choose who's go it is that day?

Everything in this game is pure chance.

They film 3 shows a day, so you only have to be there 2 days/week.
Endemol pay for hotel, and give you free lunch.

my mum is hooked on it never misses a single ep.
however do you notice this
1, they say that only 1 person knows which one has what amount
but that random person generator could be fixed in a way that they always pick someone with no more than £20k
