I agree with everything you've written there, and I believe there is going to be a second series (or a first series? Or a third series?!)...
I have to say being an old-school Dond-er the three-box offer still doesn't sit quite right with me, but it would've been so useful in so many games in the original run and saved an awful lot of people a huge loss (I keep coming back to the bloke, but 1p Trevor - his last box was the QM, he's looking at at least £30,000 at 3-box with 1p, £250 and £250,000 remaining. He deals, takes out the £250k, legendary player, perfect result).
I'm glad there's no offer prediction, that's one gimmick I genuinely detest. Mainly because I'm just terrible at predicting stuff.
I love the offers sometimes, they do seem to hark back to the very early days, £22,900 or £17,300 or £6,700 or whatever, my brain would prefer figures rounded to the nearest hundred but hey, that's just the way my brain works!
It's interesting to note that the AMOs aren't in live play, and live offers seem not to come close to the mean at all, which is a departure from the original DoND's early patterns of course. Whether we'll see an AMO in live play...someone's got to go all the way for that to happen, you feel, and as we saw in the first batch of shows, at the moment we tend to be socially liberal but fiscally ultra-conservative, so I think it'll take somebody who is already comfortably-off to take the game to 2-box! And if the candidates being selected are only those who could really do with a bit of extra cash, perhaps that scenario will be far less common than in the original show...
