[@yutehube4468]

£250,000 in 2007 is now over £400,000 when adjusted for inflation. In other words back then, it was like winning £400,000 would be today. Skip forwards to now and the new 2023 series where the top prize is only £100,000, if that was won today then it would be like winning about £60,000 in 2007. So not only is the prize money of £100,000 a lot lower, it's 2023 now... where £100,000 is like £60,000 in 2007. In other words the prize money today is more like FOUR times less than the £250,000 won by the first winner.

[@APRICEPRODUCTION]

The sad thing is back 2007 when she won it January 2007, she could have bought an average home in England for about £181,824 with about 68 grand you could put in the bank... Roll on 2023, if she won £250,000 today.... with the average house price July 2023 of this year was £290,000... so wouldn't even be enough for her to buy a house or put anything in the bank.

[@Isleofskye]

After 50+ years in Accountancy and from 1995 having my own Gambling Business until 2017,I knew the "randomness" was nonsense. Stephen seems OK but I (perhaps, unfairly) find most contestants very pleasant but very irrational and frustrating with a grasp of The Laws Of Probability, and after around 2,000(?) shows I am going through shouting at the screen again. Comments like "I am due" etc. The Boxes like a Casino Wheel or Toss of a coin has no memory. The acceptance of deals of appalling value and a failure to realize it is not just about the final round(The Box v What you accepted) but whether you would have received,at least, one more increased offer by your position and the mathematical likelihood that you would improve it. I could go on and on. What IS unrealistic about this Series are The Banker's "supposed" offers when the player deals and they carry on. It, literally, does not add up as the other day, The Banker was "supposedly" going to offer 2/3tds of a high box that remained when his other box was a low Blue. Utter nonsense.

[@coolerkin]

Based on the "WHAT'S INSIDE THE BOX".... made Edmonds a fortune AGAIN!!!

[@Isleofskye]

I always had a problem with the authenticity of DOND. How come a contestant who never bothered, unduly, about their appearance suddenly looked much more attractive on the day they "just happened" to be picked which means the Production crew knew each show who it would be, and that lucky person was provided with their box which someone from the Production team allocated to them beforehand. It would be easy for me to choose the box with a specific amount depending on what they have seen of their personality over the last 20 shows when they were not chosen. IF the person who had been chosen for the day walked over to the 22 Boxes and chose one THEMSELVES then that would prove it was fair, also, if it was "random" how comes in the 2,000 shows "Newbies" never got randomly picked on their first day when that should occur, on average nearly 100 times over the years but it never happened:)

[@eviladam23]

The contestants are picked before the show it's not random, the box picking before the show is random though

[@t.c.4321]

That's a terrible point. There is obviously some sort of policy where new comers aren't selected straight away for fairness...

[@Isleofskye]

@@t.c.4321 Not terrible at all.Quite the reverse. Of course but if the Computer picks that day's contestant "at random" then that contradicts our point about "first-day fairness". As I said, out of 2,200 shows on average, 100 times the newbie should come out first. Understandably, they do not, so it isn't that random, and as I said, how come, very often the chosen one who is seen to walk straight down from being chosen to playing looks very much more presentable on that day. It's like they "knew" they were going to be chosen. lol

[@shinydavidhowell]

In later years, but not initially - don't know when it changed or if it had happened when Laura played - the contestants actually did know who'd be playing that episode when they entered, and the warmup man Mark Olver would inform the pilgrims beforehand. The selection was always hand-picked on some level to ensure players mostly had average-length wing runs and that the exceptions were deliberate (like 50-show Lucy who was local to Bristol where the show was recorded, or a few contestants who had deliberately short runs for one reason or another). Everyone picked their box through a tombola-type draw with 22 numbered balls in a bag; I believe that the contestant would have first pick once we reached the point they knew in advance. So at least at that point, and to my knowledge always, the contestant selection took place *before* it was known even to the independent adjudicator who had what amount. (On the ITV revival, it was back to being a surprise reveal again.)

[@Isleofskye]
