If somebody won £250,000 on DOND , it would attract far more attention these days. It is faster-paced and more unpredictable than Millionaire , and in vogue at the moment.


I could be wrong, or maybe it's already been said, but I'm sure I heard that at least one episode has been filmed where someone wins the £250k...

WWTBAM has lost it's "zing" it's been on the air far too long, really and truely it should be put to bed.


Being ITV, the best way to kill off a once successful format would be to place it on daytime with lower cash prize, say top prize of £10,000. Possible change in showtitle and a lower rate host like Mark Curry (no offence!) and watch it die it's death.



Actually as daytime is the new primetime it's not the worst idea in the world.

The prize has to stay though - the average winnings on Deal or No Deal is about £17,000, while on Millionaire I'd guess it's around the £16,000 mark, so it could just about be feasible!


I think a new slot is what it needs really though - it's kind of lost on Saturday nights, especially in the autumn with The X Factor, Ant and Dec and Afterlife packed into the schedule, so moving it to a weeknight wouldn't be a bad idea, perhaps Friday at 8.30pm (followed by their primetime US import at 9.30pm).


Doesn't Meredith Veria host a syndicated version in the USA that airs during daytime?
